Ceramic, painted; metal
c. 1790-1810

A painted ceramic plaque of John Wesley in a brass frame. The portrait of Wesley is quite life-like, and the quality of the item is higher than much 'Wesleyana' - or John Wesley commemorative ware - which was produced at the time.

Sadly, the ceramic has chipped over the years, and a number of ceramic pieces are now missing. The plaque was one of the early exhibits at John Wesley's House and entered the Collection in about 1900.
