Description

Adam and Eve Dish
Dated 1635

This dish was probably a marriage gift. According to the Church, marriage was 'instituted of God in Paradise' before the Fall of Adam and Eve. It was widely accepted that Eve's sin condemned women to be governed by their husbands. However, the ideal of marriage as a partnership was also celebrated. Writers of marital advice pointed out that Eve was created from Adam's side, not his foot.

Tin-glazed earthenware, painted in oxide colours.

Probably made in London at the Pickleherring pottery

Inscribed 'TTM', probably the initials of the couple

Museum no. C.26-1931.
