The three-dimensional designs on this plate are similar to both silver and straw baskets produced during the mid-1700s.
Description
This plate’s glossy texture was created by throwing salt into a kiln during the hottest point of the firing process. During the 1700s, salt-glazed dishes proved to be a popular substitute for porcelain because of their versatility, durability, and affordability. This particular plate features intricate basket weave patterns, decorative frames, and scalloped edges which were made by hand-pressing clay into a mold.
