Brislington delft Adam and Eve charger c1690 35.6cm wide
One of the best decorated Adam and Eve chargers that I have seen - these vary quite a lot and the naivety of painting and richness of colour on this example makes it really stand out. As you will see it has had a stunning and honest rivet repair visible on the reverse, however, it's completely original and my restorer has gently tidied up any signs of this on the face - as you can see it looks fabulous!
