Antique Blue & White English Delftware Charger 18th Century Hand-Painted C. 1750

About the Item

This Delft charger showcases a charming hand-painted chinoiserie scene featuring blooming trees, rocky formations, a cottage, and two fishermen in their boats on the water, with birds soaring in the sky above. The design covers the entire plate without a separate border, a creative technique rarely seen in 18th-century English Delft pottery. The scene is painted in shades of cobalt blue against a traditional light blue glazed background. Marks: The reverse features a factory mark "12." Such marks are commonly found on 18th-century English Delftware ceramics to indicate the size of an item for display in the factory showroom or to denote its price category. Dimensions: 10.75" diameter Condition: Excellent with slight edge frits invisibly restored Price: $780 Background of English Delft: The art of making Delft began in England in the Mid-1500s. An English delftware jug has been found in East Malling, Kent, with a silver mount hallmarked 1550, which is presumed to be the earliest English delftware manufacture date. John Stow's Survey of London (1598) records the arrival in 1567 of two Antwerp potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen, in Norwich, where they made "Gally Paving Tiles and vessels for Apothecaries and others..." The production of Delft reached its high point in the mid-1700s. After that, creamware pottery began to replace Delft as the useful pottery of the English middle class.
