Plate

Bristol, Redcliffe

EDKINS, Michael (Edkins arrived in Bristol some time before 1755. In 1755 he married and in 1756 was admitted to the Freedom of Bristol. In 1761 he took on an apprentice. Whilst in Bristol Edkins worked at the Redcliffe pottery, which was run firstly by Thomas and then by richard Frank, and he may have been associated with a possible pottery run by Joseph Flower, an apprentice of the Franks. Evidence of Edkins' work consists largely of painted plates which his grandson William Edkins, a nineteenth century Bristol collector and antique dealer, attributed to him.)

Plate, pale buff coloured earthenware, circular shape with inset base, curving sides and spreading rim; covered all over with a pale blue tin-glaze, this then painted in blue with to the centre of the well a Dutch-style village scene showing two figures in a boat and a small figure fishing in the foreground and beyond houses and clipped yews with further trees on hills in the distance, border to the rim of a wreath of flowers, foliage and stylized pineapples in white tin-calx (also know as 'bianco sopra bianco'), the glaze worn off around the rim.
