A handbuilt terracotta charger with applied lug handles, decorated in white slip and sgraffito. The surface depicts figures derived from a block-printed counterpane from Charleston House, including dancing figures, sacred cows, horseback riders, hunting dogs and peacocks arranged within a continuous narrative composition.
The imagery draws on the visual language of early nineteenth-century Mughal painting, combining decorative pattern with figurative storytelling. The charger balances folk tradition, Bloomsbury influence and painterly abstraction within a contemporary ceramic form.
The work forms part of a wider collection created exclusively for Arte House, which also includes a corresponding lamp and vase.
Origin: British
Period/Style: Contemporary Ceramics
Material: Glazed terracotta
