EDITORS COMMENTS
This Pa. German Pie Plate, created by American artist William L. Antrim in 1936, showcases a stunning fusion of the 18th and 20th centuries. Antrim's watercolor gouache and graphite on paper rendering brings to life the intricate floral design that adorns this iconic pie dish, which is reminiscent of the rich heritage of Pennsylvania Dutch decorative arts. The pie plate, which dates back to the 18th century, is a testament to the enduring influence of Pennsylvania German culture in American art. The vibrant colors and intricate engraving on this piece reflect the colorful traditions of the Pennsylvania Colony, which flourished during the 1930s and 1940s. Antrim's depiction of the pie plate offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when handcrafted ceramics were a cherished part of daily life. The pie plate's place at the table was not just functional, but also decorative, adding a touch of elegance to meals shared with family and friends. This beautiful work of art, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is an index of American design, showcasing the unique blend of European and American influences that shaped the artistic landscape of the United States. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its aesthetic appeal, Antrim's Pa. German Pie Plate remains a captivating and colorful reminder of America's rich cultural heritage.
