20th Century Prattware Pot Lid of Henry VIII based on National Portrait Gallery Painting.

This 20th century Prattware pot lid with a photographic transfer of Henry VIII’s portrait was possibly done by a Staffordshire factory sometime circa the 1960s. However, Coalport did reproductions of Prattware up until 1979. So the exact date of production is a mystery, but despite its relatively modern nature, the portrait itself is of lovely quality. It is based on a 17th century oil portrait hanging in the National Portrait Gallery of London; in a style after Hans Holbein the Younger based on a work of 1536, it depicts the Tudor monarch much as we think of him today. 

A charming piece, and would be an excellent choice for any Tudor enthusiast to reframe and hang on their walls. 

Price marked at $140 AUD.

Measurements: 10cm dia. 

Very good vintage condition, some yellow residue, possibly adhesive that we have left as-is around the rim. Would not affect display if framed.
