EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Bread Plate dating back to the mid-19th century. Crafted from stoneware, this exquisite piece of ceramic art is attributed to Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, a renowned English designer and architect. Measuring 33 cm in diameter, the plate features an intriguing inscription that encircles its perimeter: "Waste Not Want Not". This powerful phrase serves as a reminder of the importance of frugality and resourcefulness in times gone by. The image captures every intricate detail of this historic artifact, allowing viewers to appreciate its craftsmanship and delicate beauty. The plate's surface is adorned with meticulously painted wheat motifs, symbolizing abundance and sustenance. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this Bread Plate was generously gifted in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Orrel A. Parker. Its presence within the museum's collection not only preserves an important piece of history but also pays homage to Pugin's artistic legacy. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness both the artistic skill involved in creating such pieces and the cultural significance attached to them. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' appreciation for practicality while adding an elegant touch to their dining experience.
