Set of 4 Blue and White Delft Plates or Dishes Hand Painted 18th Century England
About the Item
These exquisite hand-painted Delftware dishes, made in Bristol, England, circa 1760 and inspired by Chinese blue and white porcelain, are a perfect example of the mid-18th-century English Delftware artisans' skill and creativity.
The deep cobalt blue on the pale bluish glaze accentuates the delicate chinoiserie design. The center of each dish features a lovely garden scene with three types of flowers: peony, plum blossom, and chrysanthemum.
For a similar Delft dish, see English Delftware in the Bristol Collection by Frank Briton image and description on page 190, image 12.24.
Dimensions: diameter of 9" and a thickness of .75
ConditionIn: Excellent, with slight edge frits invisibly restored.
Price: $2,100
Background of English Delft:
The art of making Delft began in England in the Mid-1500s. An English delftware jug with a silver mount hallmarked 1550 has been found in East Malling, Kent, which is presumed to be the earliest English delftware manufacture date. John Stow's Survey of London (1598) records the arrival in 1567 of two Antwerp potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen, in Norwich, where they made "Gally Paving Tiles and vessels for Apothecaries and others..."
The production of Delft reached its high point in the mid-1700s. After that, creamware pottery began to replace Delft as the useful pottery of the English middle class.
