Each plate playfully\nrepresented its designer’s style using silk-screen printing, enamelling or gilding. The artist’s signature appears on the reverse of the plate with the factory mark or backstamp. Blake’s design incorporated collaging techniques, while Piper’s reflected his interest in the iconography of the folk figure the\nGreen Man in a painterly design.\nThis plate entitled ‘The Green Man’ was designed by John Piper and is decorated with the motif of the green man.","physicalDescription":"bone china plate, black with white outline of 'green man' motif, a leafy male face surrounded by vegetation","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Piper, John","id":"A1105"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"AAT25190"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Josiah Wedgwood and Sons","id":"A1450"},"association":{"text":"manufacturers","id":"AAT25230"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"bone china","id":"AAT233473"}],"techniques":[{"text":"lithography","id":"AAT53271"},{"text":"glazed","id":"AAT53914"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"bone china with lithograph and clear glaze","categories":[{"text":"V&A Wedgwood Collection","id":"THES276060"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"WED","id":"THES270009"},"images":["2022NC5326","2022NC5327"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"WDG2","id":"THES292798"},"free":"","case":"CA60","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"plates","id":"AAT42991"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Barlaston","id":"x31989"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1990","earliest":"1990-01-01","latest":"1990-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"V&A Wedgwood Collection.
