About the Item

A rare Dutch Majolica plate with a star design. Northern Netherlands. Made 1620 - 1640 Dutch majolica is one of the more rare ceramics known, especially in a condition where it is almost complete. Dutch Majolica is extremely rare to find in complete condition, most of the time parts are missing. That is because almost all pieces are from excavations. We think that an estimated only 200 pieces have been handed down over the centuries, of which most are in museum collections or foundations. This plate is about 85% complete! Besides that Dutch majolica is rare, it's also historical special: it's a new chapter in people's lives and a mixture of cultures. Majolica has something magical and a special attraction that makes you marvel. That’s how it’s for me, but so it should have been for the people in the first half of the 16th century when this luxury product was introduced for the first time. This product was exotic, innovative, and decorated in bright shining colors on a tin-glazed ground, in contradiction with the brown, yellow, and green lead-glazed ceramics which were common. Dutch majolica has been influenced by a lot of cultures. The main influences were the Spanish-Islamic culture and the Italian Renaissance. Later, it also has been influenced by the imports of Chinese porcelain. This example still shows wonderful influence from the Spanish-Islamic culture. The plate is decorated with a geometrical design a flower which is placed within a medallion, which is the center of a star. Leaves and hatched arcs were then painted around the star to close the picture. A wonderful example of decorative art from the Dutch Golden Age.
