Object Of The Month – May 2008

Uncategorized

Each month LAARC runs an Object Of The Month competition. Three artefacts are taken from the archive’s stores and put up for public vote to decide which goes on display in the Archive’s temporary exhibition case.

Competitions take place during the final week of each month. The winning object for this month will be announced on Friday 6th June.

To celebrate the launch of MoLAS’ new book – London’s Delftware Industry, part written by LAARC’s very own Roy Stephenson, the three selected objects are all fine examples of this fine ceramic.

1) From Platform Wharf (PW89) – a right old mess up – a fused stack of plates

2) From Althorpe Grove (AG75) – the 2nd in a series of merry men plates

3) From Mitre Street (MIR84) – A Jewish plate, used to separate dairy products from meat
