Isis Ceramics Blue Playful Monkeys Scalloped Tea Plate (Clement)

Product description

This Scalloped Plate featuring "Clement" in the Playful Monkeys Collection has a beautiful hand-painted pattern that evokes the spirit of 17th and 18th century England. Because Isis Ceramics are hand-painted, no two are identical, so slight variations in the pattern are normal.

The Monkey Collection from Isis Ceramics is a series of whimsical patterns with satirical monkeys, inspired by the singeries, or monkeys in costume of the 1700s. Playful Monkeys are engaged in the activities of sunbathing, dancing, eating and gardening, these four monkeys have names that match their characters.  Sunbathing with Clement; Dancing with Candace; Eating with Fife who is named after a banana; and Gardening with Judge Wiggly.

In Oxford, England, where the Thames is known as the Isis, the art of tin glazed ceramics continues to flourish. Isis Ceramics are entirely made by hand using techniques that have changed little since the early 1600s. Each one is an original, hand painted work of art, signed and numbered.
