Pair of Blue and White Plaques with Ships off the Coast, 1784-1800

About the Item

Pair of blue and white plaques with ships off the coast. Makkum, 1784-1800 Kingma pottery painter: Adam Sijbel The diamond-shaped plaques have a raised, scalloped rim and are each painted with a coastal landscape with ships. In the foreground, ships sails towards open water: a barge with sloop and a two-master, respectively. On the shore, a village is visible with houses, towers and a church. Also on the waterfront is a stork's nest on a tall pole. Several ships sail in the background. The inner rim is decorated with S-shaped ornaments, the outer rim is marbled. Dimensions: length 34 cm / 13.38 in., width 29 cm / 11.41 in. Adam Sijbel was the first painter of the Kingma pottery and executed the most important plates, plaques and other pieces. He also painted tile pictures as well as the more expensive tiles like fine landscapes and biblical tiles with scriptural references. His style of painting can be recognized by the loose brushwork and in the rendering of the clouds, the water, the S-shaped ornaments in the inner border and the background painted in light tones. In Adam Sijbel's extensive and varied oeuvre, only one other plaque depicting a ship is known. He also painted ships on tile pictures such as the twelve examples that can still be seen in the taproom of Hotel de Prins in Makkum. Before Sijbel moved to Makkum in 1784, when the Kingma family pottery was established, he was working for about twenty years in the Old Prince tile factory in the Anjeliersstraat in Amsterdam. These plates are exceptionally well preserved. There is only some minor glaze damage to the raised rim, typical of Delftware

  • Late 18th Century Blue And White Glazed Faience Charger, circa 1770, Denmark
    Located in Haddonfield, NJ
    A large Danish (or Northern German) faience charger from circa 1780 in blue and white flower decor. The decoration is inspired by, or actually exact copies of the contemporary Chinese Qianlong dynasty porcelain that came to Europe during the "Florissant Period", second half of the 18th century. This 1750-1790 period was dominated a "blooming" inter-connected maritime trade between Hong Kong, China and Western Europe, with the Danes, Dutch, English and Swedes being the main merchant participants. Because the Chinese kept their unique porcelain recipe a deadly secret, the faience factories of Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden etc. decided to simply copy the Chinese decorations, this large charger being a fine example of the workmanship and tradition. An interesting fact, that in the early 1700 hundreds, the German Meissen Porcelain factory was the first to crack the secret Chinese porcelain manufacturing process, so Meissen enforced the death penalty...
