Currently on view at Mint Museum--RANDOLPH
Gift of the American Ceramic Society
Like the vase (2006.102.144) displayed nearby, this plate is decorated with chrysanthemums using the china painting technique, in which paints made from a mixture of mineral oxides and finely ground glass are applied to a glazed, premade ceramic form (called a blank), and fuse to it when fired in a kiln. McLaughlin was a leading figure in American ceramics for her instrumental role in popularizing china painting and her innovations with other techniques, such as under-glaze painting and carved porcelain. This plate was displayed and auctioned at the tenth anniversary luncheon of the Cincinnati Pottery Club, which she had founded in 1879 to promote ceramic artistry in her native city. (Allure of Flowers) This plate was decorated by McLaughlin as part of the table decoration for the luncheon celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Cincinnati Pottery Club. The plates were auctioned off and this one was won by Laura Fry. (ACS Exhibition)
