Description

This is a perfect example of the Mikado charger by Frederick Rhead dating from the aesthetic period, circa 1880.
Frederick Alfred Rhead (1856-1953) was father to the famous pottery designer Charlotte Rhead. He was apprenticed at Mintons Ltd and was a number of apprentices who in the 1870s learnt the art of pate-sur-pate decoration from Marc-Louis Solon, a French emigre who was a leading exponent of this ceramic technique. Fredericks most famous piece of ceramics is the “Gladstone Vase” which was presented to William Ewart Gladstone by the Liberals of Burnley in 1888. The vase is on public view, having been loaned to the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton Staffordshire.
The Mikado charger here is in excellent condition and measures 41 cms in diameter.
