Antique Blue and White Delft Charger Hand-Painted in England circa 1765

About the Item

This lovely Delft charger was hand-painted in England in the mid-18th century, circa 1765. The center shows a naive garden scene with a willow tree, an oversized flower, and a large blue bud. The border decoration echoes the center scene. It is likely that a senior artist made the outlines and then handed the plate over to someone else to fill in the straight line decoration. Nevertheless, the result is beautiful! Dimensions: 13" in diameter x 2" height Condition: Excellent Price: $980 Background of Delft: The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in "The Delft Pottery Maker," written in 1794 and dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century. English potters soon learned from the Dutch and began to produce works of English Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then covered the white tin-glaze with a clear glaze, giving depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues. Over time they created a good resemblance to porcelain. By circa 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.

    Located in Katonah, NY
    This Delft blue and white dish was hand-painted in England in the 18th century circa 1760. The painting is quite naive but eye-catching. In the center, we see a large blue ground before three homes, each with a chimney. To the left, we see a large peony, and to the right, a pine tree. The wide border shows six flower buds on the vine, and along the edge are scrolling vines. Dimensions: 9.25" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $560 Background of English Delft: The art of making Delft began in England in the Mid-1500s. An English delftware jug has been found in East Malling, Kent, with a silver mount hallmarked 1550, which is presumed to be the earliest date of English delftware manufacture. John Stow's Survey of London (1598) records the arrival in 1567 of two Antwerp potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen...
