Delftware
"It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it."
-Julia Child
There were about 85 sherds to this plate and trust me- I touched them all; more than once.
This 1700s earthenware plate was gifted to Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library and then given to University of Delaware's Art Conservation Undergraduates as a study piece for treatment.
In the fall of 2020, I treated this delftware plate that was in pieces. It was evident that there was at least one prior restoration treatment, because the old adhesive fluoresced in UV.
