Blue and White Delft Plate or Dish Hand Painted Netherlands 18th Century

About the Item

This hand painted blue and white dish was made in Delft, The Netherlands, circa 1770. The center scene is painted within a decorative cartouche. We see a fisherman on a sailboat moving away from the viewer and out to sea. The wide border is decorated with leaves and flowers. A thin blue line defines the edge. The underside of the plate shows three unglazed tripod marks where the stilts of the tripod held the plate in the kiln (see the last image). A tripod was a traditional manufacturing tool in many 18th century Dutch factories. Dimensions:8.75" diameter Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $420 Background of Delft: The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in "The Delft Pottery Maker," written in 1794 and dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century. Much of the most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then covered the white tin-glaze with a clear glaze, giving depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues. Over time, they created a good resemblance to porcelain. By circa 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.

    Located in Katonah, NY
    This Delft blue and white dish was hand-painted in England in the 18th century circa 1760. The painting is quite naive but eye-catching. In the center, we see a large blue ground before three homes, each with a chimney. To the left, we see a large peony, and to the right, a pine tree. The wide border shows six flower buds on the vine, and along the edge are scrolling vines. Dimensions: 9.25" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $560 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 date of English delftware manufacture.
