Plato

Possibly Heinrich Roth American
1793
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704
Los ceramistas de origen alemán que emigraron a Pensilvania a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX produjeron piezas utilitarias y ornamentales para el mercado local con la arcilla roja de la zona, siguiendo las técnicas y las tradiciones decorativas de su país de origen. Una de esas técnicas es el esgrafiado, utilizado en este plato procedente del condado de Northampton. El método consiste en cubrir la arcilla endurecida con engobe blanco y a continuación rascar la superficie con un utensilio puntiagudo para revelar la capa roja bajo el blanco. Los motivos simplificados de la decoración, un pavo real y flores, aparecen con frecuencia en este tipo de cerámicas.
