Prato

Possibly Heinrich Roth American
1793
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704
Os ceramistas de origem alemã que emigraram para a Pensilvânia no final do século XVIII e início do século XIX produziram peças utilitárias e decorativas para o mercado local com a argila vermelha da área, seguindo as técnicas e tradições de decoração de seu país de origem. Uma dessas técnicas é o esgrafito, usado neste prato procedente do condado de Northampton. O método consiste em cobrir a argila endurecida com uma tira branca e em seguida raspar a superfície com uma ferramenta pontiaguda para revelar a camada vermelha sob o branco. Os motivos simplificados de decoração, um pavão real e flores, aparecem com frequência neste tipo de cerâmica.
