Plate

Decorator L. T. Lloyde American
After Dorothea Warren O'Hara American
Haviland & Co. American and French
ca.1908
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774
Although this porcelain blank was manufactured by Haviland and Company of Limoges, France, it was decorated by L.T. Lloyde. The decoration of this plate is based on a design published in the April 1908 issue of Keramic Studio by renowned china painting instructor and potter Dorothea Warren O'Hara. Raised in Missouri, O'Hara studied in Munich, London, and Paris before moving to New York City, where she opened a pottery and taught. O'Hara was known for her designs in raised enamel and for her preference for American clay. The decorator, L. T. Lloyde, about whom little is known, followed Warren's recommendation for a "grey tone" palette of Copenhagen blue, apple green, and orange or yellow toned with yellow brown.
