This pair of large Dutch Delft plates, traditionally referred to as chargers, was hand-painted at the renowned De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe) factory in Delft, circa 1780. Each plate measures 12.25 inches in diameter and is centered with a carefully balanced composition depicting a basket overflowing with flowers, rendered with assurance and clarity in rich cobalt blue. The surrounding border alternates between scrolling floral sprays and diamond-patterned panels, creating a rhythmic frame that guides the eye across the surface. Warm ochre-painted rims provide contrast against the white tin-glazed ground, lending definition and visual depth while neatly enclosing the decoration. The pair remains in excellent condition and reflects the confident workmanship and refined decorative control associated with late 18th-century production at The Axe factory. Dimensions: 12.25 inches diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $1,560 Decoration: Hand-painted floral basket with alternating border panels Material: Delft tin-glazed earthenware Style: Dutch Delftware Origin: Netherlands, De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe) Date: Circa 1780 Notable Details: Produced at De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe), active 1637–1803 Strong cobalt blue painting...

This blue and white English Delft jug, made circa 1750-1760, has a tall, narrow neck with a slightly flared rim on a distinctive globular body. The decoration is the word "BOY" framed by blue dashes. It is hand-painted in blue, done in a freehand, fluid style that includes typical irregularities in the paint. Historically, 18th-century English Delftware is known for its freehand, fluid decoration, characterized by minor irregularities that evoke an authentic folk art quality. The rustic and uneven glaze is also characteristic of this pottery. The jug has a utilitarian feel, featuring four protruding lugs on the sides. Its modest yet charming form, rounded shape, and understated ornamentation reflect the everyday aesthetic of mid-18th-century Delftware production. Delftware jugs were often created for public houses, and "Boy" might reference part of a pub name, a local drinking song, or a common toast. Just as likely, given England's strong maritime traditions, this could refer to a sailor's drinking vessel. In naval and military slang, "Boy" was often used to refer to young sailors or recruits. This hand-painted inscription adds a personal touch, making this jug a unique and engaging example of antique Delftware...
