By The Axe

Located in Katonah, NY

This pair of large Dutch Delft plates, traditionally referred to as chargers, was hand-painted at the renowned De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe) factory in Delft, circa 1780. Each plate measures 12.25 inches in diameter and is centered with a carefully balanced composition depicting a basket overflowing with flowers, rendered with assurance and clarity in rich cobalt blue. The surrounding border alternates between scrolling floral sprays and diamond-patterned panels, creating a rhythmic frame that guides the eye across the surface. Warm ochre-painted rims provide contrast against the white tin-glazed ground, lending definition and visual depth while neatly enclosing the decoration. The pair remains in excellent condition and reflects the confident workmanship and refined decorative control associated with late 18th-century production at The Axe factory. Dimensions: 12.25 inches diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $1,560 Decoration: Hand-painted floral basket with alternating border panels Material: Delft tin-glazed earthenware Style: Dutch Delftware Origin: Netherlands, De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe) Date: Circa 1780 Notable Details: Produced at De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe), active 1637–1803 Strong cobalt blue painting...

Antique Delft Pottery and Faience for Sale on 1stDibs

The unique graceful design and classic style of antique Delft pottery 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 Delft plates, Delft vases and other pieces of 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.
