A beautifully decorated English Delftware Plate, Liverpool, circa 1750-60, painted in a polychrome palette in the Drinkwater style with a country house and haystack.
Particularly of note is that the scene painted on the face of this plate is of the same design as that on the exterior of a punch bowl dated 1754 in the British Museum, catalogue no. 1887.0210.136. Garner & Archer discuss this bowl and the many distinctive features of the Drinkwater style of painting, so called because of an association with George Drinkwater of Duke Street. Previously part of the Graham Slater collection (Bonhams London 'A Modern Antiquarian:The Graham Slater Collection' April 15th, 2025)
Overall condition is very good. Numerous chips to the rim, as is typical of tin-glazed English Delftware of this period that has survived for 200+ years, but no cracks visible.
