Polychrome Delftware Wall Plaque with Bird and Flower Basket Delft, circa 1750 This antique eighteenth-century Dutch Delftware wall plaque is made of tin-glazed earthenware and painted in blue, green, yellow, iron-red and manganese. The lozenge-shaped plaque has a raised, self-framing border and is pierced at the top with two holes for suspension. The centre is painted with an exotic bird perched among flowering branches rising from a rectangular basket. The flowers and foliage are enclosed within a shaped cartouche outlined in yellow and green scrollwork. Large stylised flower heads interrupt the surrounding blue diaper-patterned ground, while the outer border is decorated with continuous scrolling ornament in blue, yellow and iron-red. The combination of an exotic bird, abundant flowers and geometric patterning reflects the continuing influence of Chinese and Japanese porcelain on mid-eighteenth-century Delftware. Delft painters did not simply reproduce Asian designs, but combined individual motifs with European cartouches, scrollwork and shaped borders to create new decorative compositions. Wall plaques of this type were produced specifically for display. In contemporary household inventories they were sometimes described as porceleine schilderijen, or “porcelain paintings”, reflecting their role as ceramic counterparts to framed paintings. By the eighteenth century, Delft potters increasingly formed plaques in moulds with pronounced outlines and integrated decorative borders, creating complete, self-framed objects for the interior. With its strong polychrome palette, lively bird and flower decoration and compact 26 cm format, this shaped Delft plaque...

Italian Creamware Trompe l’Oeil Duck Tureens, Pair, Nove di Bassano Circa 1786–1802 Nove di Bassano, Veneto, Italy. Pasquale Antonibon factory, period of Giovanni Maria Baccin. Each of these two soup tureens is modeled as a duck at rest upon a low oval mound base, the body divided horizontally so that the upper half, with the head and neck, lifts away as the cover and seats into the lower basin. The modeling is naturalistic throughout, the plumage and the curve of the bill worked in crisp relief, and the pair are left entirely undecorated so that nothing competes with the sculpture. They are made in terraglia, the refined cream-colored earthenware developed in Italy in emulation of the Queen’s Ware perfected by Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire. Terraglia all’inglese reached the Veneto in 1780, when Carlo Vicentini del Giglio introduced it at Vicenza, and Giovanni Maria Baccin took up its manufacture at Nove from 1786, working calcium and magnesium carbonate and silica into the plastic clay; gypsum quarried at Asiago gave the body its characteristic ivory tone, which the lustrous clear glaze here carries across the whole surface. Tureens in the form of birds, animals and fruit belong to a European fashion for the trompe l’oeil table...
