Daffodil dish

Decorator Painted by Charles Collis British
ca. 1904–6
Not on view
The Della Robbia Pottery in northwestern England was short lived (1894–1906) but it produced an impressive corpus of work during its twelve-year history. Founded on the principals of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the factory sought inspiration in the ceramics of fifteenth and sixteenth-century Florence. This large dish is an excellent example of the factory’s work; technically it looks back to Italian Renaissance ceramic techniques yet it embraces stylistically both the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements that prevailed at the time.
