Item Details
Description
GEORGE OHR Large pitcher embossed with battle scene, under gunmetal glaze with green interior. Signed Biloxi. 10 1/4" x 6 1/2"
Condition
"We called this pattern, 'Clive In India.' Robert Clive [1725-1774] was an English General, First Baron Clive of Plassey, member of Parliament for Shrewesbury, Governor of Bengal, and, as a major figure in the establishment of British India, was a fine subject for commemoration. This is Ohr's version of the Parian pitcher issued by Alcock on the Centenary of the Battle of Plassey. Although Robert Blasberg expressed his belief that George Ohr made molds from English pitchers, this is not a literal copy. It is more attenuated, and he added a 'hammered' surface to the lower portion, inspired perhaps by a Chelsea Keramic tea set."
