Samuel Malkin

Samuel Malkin (1668-1741) was an English potter known for his distinctive and often humorous ceramic pieces. His work typically features bold, colorful designs, often depicting figures, animals, and landscapes. Malkin's work is characterized by its use of slipware techniques, in which a liquid clay is applied to a base layer to create relief and decoration. These pieces, often plates and dishes, showcase his skill with the medium and his eye for striking visual compositions.
