Largest and Mint Antique Delftware Porcelain Wall Tile Painting in Wooden Frame
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning and largest ever single tile, Delft Blue wall painting in the 'Haagse School' style.
This antique and largest ever, single Delftware tile holds both the art of painting and the art of making glazed ceramic tiles and the amazing result is an absolute joy to own and to look at. This serene, realistic and truly Dutch landscape scene was the typical subject matter of what later became known as the famous 'The Hague School Style'. The painting on this tile was done by one of the great artists that worked for only the best ceramic studios in those days and the original of this painting was created by one of the greats of the 'Haagse School', Louis Apol (1850-1936). It is for that reason that this unique size tile with painting also is signed 'naar L. Apol' which means 'after L. Apol'. We have attributed this one of a kind antique to 'De Porceleyne Fles', but this could also have been made by one of the other two of the top three ceramic studios / manufacturers of that era. Those other two were 'Rozenburg' of the Hague and 'Holland Utrecht...

Mid-Century French Saint Clement Barbotine Faience Oyster Plates '6' and Dish
Located in Dallas, TX
These colorful antique plates and matching serving platter were created in France circa 1920, by the Saint Clement factory. The hand painted Majolica service features 6 round plates and one charger, all having oyster shaped and lemon wedge motifs. Every piece is marked underfoot "St Clement France". The set is in excellent condition with rich colors in the green and yellow palette.
The faience factory of Saint-Clement, 12 kms from Lunéville, was established in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette, who already owned another one in Lunéville. With this second factory he aimed at the higher segment of the market with prestigious objects. The factory received because of this a label as Royal Suplier for Marie-Antoinette's Trianon.
After Jacques died in 1758, his son Gabriel became the new owner. Between 1759 and 1763 the factory was managed by Charles Loyal, Jacques Chambrette's son-in-law, Paul Louis Cyfflé and the architect Richard Mique, who owned half the factory in 1786.
In the 18th century Saint-Clément produced domestic objects of ordinary earthenware, luxurious objects and decorative objects of fine earthenware (so-called "terre de pipe"). Between the first quarter of the 19th century and 1892 both current utensils of ordinary earthenware and fine earthenware are produced and decorative objects of grand and petit feu (Emile Gallé).
In the second half of the 19th century the factory reproduced Louis XIV objects, among them objects with very unnatural forms, where they attempted to imitate the multicolored decorations of Strasbourg faience...

Antique and Vintage Delft and Faience
The unique graceful design and classic style of antique and vintage delft and faience make these pieces an exceptional addition to any dining room.
The popularity of the blue-and-white porcelain developed in 14th-century China inspired delft and faience pottery in Europe. The global expansion of trade through the Dutch East India Company led to the import of numerous examples of Chinese porcelain, resulting in the creation of Dutch delftware, which is the term generally used to describe the tin-glazed earthenware that Dutch potters used. There were other imitations of Chinese porcelain produced by ceramicists throughout Europe, but delftware was the most successful. This iconic tradition — the subject of a 2020 exhibition at the Kunstmuseum den Haag — resembled Chinese porcelain but was more affordable.
True blue delftware originates only from a single location: Delft in the Netherlands. These precious pieces pair well with French faience. Unlike delftware, French faience utilizes a lead-and-tin glaze. This earthenware has roots in late-16th-century France. French Provincial delft and faience tend to feature snow-white lacquered surfaces with colorful painted images or floral designs.
In terms of elegance and versatility, Baroque delft and faience always impress. The most extravagant and boldly hued pieces are Rococo delft and faience. Plates, tureens and other objects made in this style are frequently ornate and intricately decorated, making them ideal for display.
Modern Dutch design masters often incorporate vintage decor into their contemporary designs and delftware items are a popular choice. Browse antique and vintage delft and faience now on 1stDibs.
