CHELSEA KERAMIC ART WORKS Two pieces: a rare and early small plate with carved and applied brick red violets on an ivory ground, with gold craquelure, 1880 (wear to gilt), stamped CKAW, painted signature LD 1880; a ewer by Josephine Day decorated in Albertine with applied branch of leaves and blossoms under glossy green glaze, tight line to base of handle, small chip, stamped CKAW/JD. 7 1/2" x 4"
Condition
"Marked and dated examples were always of interest to us. We bought this plate in 1974 at Skinner's, as one of the interesting experiments conducted at the Chelsea works by Hugh Robertson, before the move to Dedham, but have not yet identified 'EAL.' Josephine Day, Hugh Robertson's student and sister-in-law, was one of the few artists outside the Robertson family to design art ware."
