Circular with a broad rim, deep sides, and almost flat centre. Decorated in the middle with busts of a woman with her hair dressed in ringlets and wearing a necklace and a crown, and a man with a long wig, probably Catherine of Braganza and Charles I. Above and between their heads is a rosette, and below, a winged motif. The sides of the well are decorated with a zig-zag slightly curved line forming triangles, and the rim has a trellis border, broken at the bottom by a rectangular panel enclosing the name THOMAS.TOFTreferenceexhibition-3312adlib-exhibition-33124c3c3696-a861-334e-a4fe-c4c9c0d65affMagdalene Odundo: The Journey of Thingsreferenceexhibition-3684adlib-exhibition-36843c4edd64-75a0-39f4-9870-391d613366c2Magdalene Odundo in CambridgeC.207-19281accession numberC.207-192873072priref73072old object number3644urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/73072https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/73072on frontslip-trailingTHOMAS.TOFTmaker's namereferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumDr. J.W.L.

The slip-trailed trellis border is typical of these large dishes, but some examples have male heads, tulips, or rosette-like motifs.Thomas Toft is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Staffordshire slipware potters, but very little is known about his life. He was probably the Thomas Toft who married in 1663, paid Hearth Tax at the village of Stanley in 1663, and 1666, and was buried at Stoke on 3 December 1689. Over thirty dishes bearing his name have been recorded but a few of them may have been made by his son, also Thomas Toft. What Toft senior made other than dishes is largely conjectural. Only four pieces of hollow ware bearing his name are known, among them a small jug in the Fitzwilliam Museum (C.1-1937).referenceterm-107696adlib-term-10769673d598b5-9f18-3ba8-93d4-b1d02583d300Charles IIreferenceterm-118735adlib-term-1187351631bde8-d0c4-3507-be3b-ac03c59ba80717th Century, second half#referenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDepthcm7Diametercm44referencemedia-209474adlib-media-209474a628b208-91b7-3f65-9fdf-cdde0ceb7988jpegaa/aa38/large_C_207_1928_201810_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels810widthpixels102416162706950661imagejpegaa/aa38/mid_C_207_1928_201810_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels396widthpixels50016162706950661imagejpegaa/aa38/C_207_1928_201810_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels811widthpixels102516162706950661imagejpegaa/aa38/preview_C_207_1928_201810_adn21_dc2.jpg1heightpixels198widthpixels25016162706950661image0media
