Antique Irish Dublin Delftware Blue White Charger Plate Delamain Ireland 18thCt

About the Item

An Extremely Rare Hand Decorated Irish Delftware wall hanging Charger or Cabinet Dublin Plate by Henry Delamain, decorated with flowers and foliage in colours of blue. Possibly third quarter of the Eighteenth Century. Condition: We would describe as in “Country House condition” Please view the images which show clearly the condition. This is one of the rarest Delamine pieces in existence especially because of its large proportions. Wonderful piece of Eighteenth-Century Irish History, regardless of its condition, in our opinion should be in a museum. Diameter: (an impressive) 12.25" (31cm). Location: Dublin City, Ireland. Affordable fixed charge Worldwide Store to door shipping offered in house. Provenance: From the Collection of an Irish Gentleman in Northern Ireland. A similar single example is on display at The Hunt Museum in Limerick City Ireland. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London currently has up to five pieces of Delftware on show by Henry Delamain.. Captain Henry II Delamain (1687 Kilkenny -1789, Kildare) During the 1730's a Belfast merchant, John Chambers moved south to establish the renowned World’s End pottery in Dublin. In the 1750's Captain Henry Delamain took over these works and with an enormous financial investment transformed the pottery's fortunes. The most famous of all their products was the superbly painted romantic landscapes, which were unlike anything produced in Britain at that time. More recent research has produced a range of polychrome wares, and a further group painted more crudely in blue and white has been discovered through archaeological investigations in Virginia ----------------------------- Captain Henry III DELAMAIN (1713-1757) son of Henry II DELAMAIN, started his career as a soldier as he served for 20 in the army of the Prince of Saxe Coburg Gotha (in the Austrian War of Succession) in Flanders where he learned the art of Delftware before returning to Dublin to his father's business. However, prior to being established in Dublin he seems to have spent some time in Battersea Enamels (1750-1754) being a partner in the enamel factory of expensive objets de vertu; Janssen's partner Henry Delamain (1713-1757) was a trained potter who worked at the firm until 1754, presumably advising on furnaces and the management of the batch firing techniques that helped reduce production costs. Examples of this rare pottery can be seen in museums in Ireland to-day. His Battersea enamels are museum pieces which could be seen in the V & A Museum in London, together with his Irish delftware.

George Ravenscroft started the tradition in 1676. The glassmaker added lead oxide to the silicates that make up the molten glass. The process achieved a softness that allowed the glass to be blown and carved while remaining hard and clear as it cooled. The first crystal factory in Ireland opened in County Tyrone in 1771. The Creation of Waterford Crystal The Waterford Crystal we know today back in 1783 with George and William Penrose. Their vision was to “create the finest quality crystal for drinking vessels and decorative objects of beauty for the home.” The Penrose brothers sought the expertise of renowned glassmaker John Hill in 1785.
