Rare Dutch Majolica Dish with Tulip, Early 17th Century

About the Item

A rare Dutch Majolica dish with a decoration of a tulip. Northern Netherlands, probably made in the city of Haarlem or Hoorn. 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 dish has a completeness of about 80%. 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 Renaicansse. Later, it also has been influenced by the imports of Chinese porcelain. This example has evolved past these influences. In this time period (1620-1640) we see scenes from daily life. Decorations of people, landscapes, fruits, animals, birds, and flowers. With a decoration of a flower, the tulip can be mentioned separately. The tulip has been frequently used as decoration since the introduction of this flower in the last quarter of the 16th century, as a symbol of status. This dish is a so-called pancake dish, which means that the center, on which the tulip is painted, is raised (domed). Further is the dish shining bright and had a border decorated with leaves or feathers.

Early 19th Century Shell Desert Dish Porcelain Hand Painted, Staffordshire UK

By Staffordshire

Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire

This is an early 19th century porcelain desert dish with a fluted shell shape, made by one of the Staffordshire, English potteries and dating from the George 111rd period, circa 1820. This piece is unmarked to the base but we believe it is very well hand painted and could be by one of the high quality English makers such as Coalport or Davenport. Either way this piece is a beautifully hand decorated piece in a stunning Imari style pattern with carefully hand-gilded highlights. Overall a beautifully painted early English porcelain...
