Blue and White Dutch Delft Dish or Plate Hand Painted Circa 1760

About the Item

The cobalt blue is exquisite! Provenance: An identical dish is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For an image of this identical plate and a discussion of its origins, see: E B Schaap "Delft Ceramics at the Philadelphia Museum of Art" pages 74 and 75. We are pleased to offer this Dutch Delft dish in the "Theeboom" pattern showing a tea plant with a fan-shaped bouquet of leaves and flowers inside a fenced garden. The decoration fills the well of the charger. On the border are medallions and floral designs. The edges are delicately scalloped, which adds another beautiful dimension to the dish. This beautiful pattern was quite popular in the mid-18th century. Dimensions: 10 inches diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $850 We also have a selection of 13"-14" diameter chargers in this pattern in the shop. History of Delft: The technique of making Delft was first described in Gerrit Paape in "The Delft Pottery Maker," written in 1794. Dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century. Much of the finest Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots completely in a white tin glaze. They then began to cover 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.
