Portrait of George Richardson

George Richardson is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

George Richardson made everyday pewter tableware in early 19th-century England. His lidded sugar bowls, round shaving mugs, and squat teapots share clean lines and a soft metallic sheen. Look closely at the Sugar Bowl (1830–45) to see how the simple cylinder tapers where the lid meets the body.

See how the Shaving Mug (1818–48) keeps its curved handle flush against the cup. Tap Sugar Box (1818–48) to spot the faint maker’s mark on the base.
