A rare English delftware blue-dash charger: painted in blue, yellow, iron-red and green with a figure representing Pulcinella, wearing his jester's costume with sugar loaf hat and striding between trees with sponged leaves, holding a large sword in his left hand and smoking a pipe, within yellow line and blue-dash rim, the reverse tin glazed, probably Lambeth, circa 1720-40, 32 cm diameter [some damage]. *Provenance: Acquired, together with the following lot, by the present owner's grandmother in Scarborough in the mid 20th century. *Notes. This charger is part of a small but distinctive group of early 18th century delftware chargers boldly painted with a variety of bird, animal and figure subjects, possibly by the same hand, as discussed by Tristram Jellinek in articles for the 'Antique Collector' magazine in 1970 and 1973. The figure of Pulcinella, anglicized to Punchinello/Mr Punch was first recorded in England in the 1660's and was derived from the Italian Commedia dell'Arte. In the early 18th century, the marionette theatre starring Mr Punch was popular in London and provincial theatres. He usually carries a stick or slapstick, not a sword or smoking a pipe as with the present dish.
