A small early 17th century German Werra slipware plate, it has an old restoration as can be seen in the photos. Incredibly early example, dated 1620 depicting a stag This fine example was produced in Germany in potteries along the Werra River between 1550 – 1650. It was widely exported from the port of Breman and has been found in quantities in the low countries, North America and East and Southern England where finds are concentrated in coastal and urban areas.
Red bodied earthenware was decorated with a distinctive pale greenish yellowy slip - a thin clay mixture. The decoration tends to follow a standard format divided into zones.
Dashes and lines were quickly struck around the rim of the plate. The potter then expertly looped thin bands of slip spiraling inwards. A wide band of swirls and squiggles forms a boarder followed by another set of bands which frame a central motif. Rather random bright green splashes of copper oxide provide highlights in the centre and surrounding areas.
