| PEWTER PLATE WRIGGLE WORK London 1720 |
£1250 |
A most interesting Pewter plate, it has been suggested that the crowned Lion with human face is a representation of William III. The lion with human face is found on both English & Dutch delft as well as Chinese porcelain made for the Dutch market. English plates with this pattern have been attributed to London, circa 1720 as is this pewter plate with its London touch mark.
A delft plate with lion has been dug up at Williamsburg (27AB.0276).
