A Pilkington's W.S. Mycock Walter Crane charger, decorated with George & The Dragon and The Legend Sans Peur et Sans Reproche un Chevalier, bearing the W.S. Mycock artist's mark and Walter Crane design symbol, also impressed with the Pilkington mark with the Roman numerals VII beneath and 2477. Diameter 48.5 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This charger has two problems. There is a hairline crack running from the centre of the plate through the W. S. Mycock monogram through the foot rim to the edge of the plate. This is clearly visible from the back of the piece. The hairline is also visible from the front with very close inspection. There is no evidence of any repairs or restoration to the charger, however the other issue is fading to the black lustre. The green ground is a universal colour however the black painting to the dragon and St George fades from the bottom of the piece up towards the top. The black lustre has rubbed. The definition of the Knight and the Horse and the Dragon is clearly visible but compromised to a degree by the rubbing of the black lustre.

Kate Greenaway studied art at the Islington School, Heatherley's and at the Slade under Legros, and began to exhibit at the RA in 1877. In the same year she began to work for Edmund Evans, the printer and publisher, who recognised her talent for capturing a world of child-like innocence and Regency charm. She admired the work of Stothard and was a contemporary of Randolph Caldecott, whom she became friendly with, and Walter Crane. Ruskin liked her work, but although he was often lavish with his praise, his criticism could be harsh. Ruskin encouraged Kate to do nature studies in watercolour, as well as larger-scale watercolours, but her attempts to follow his advice were less than successful, and her forte remained her meticulous small-scale watercolours of whimsical children playing in an idyllic countryside, with their delicate colouring and enchanting evocation of the rural life of earlier times.
