About the Item

This beautiful blue and white delftware dish was hand painted in England around 1760. It features a lively garden scene with a songbird in flight, her head tilted up in song, and a hovering butterfly. The scene is set against rockwork and blooming flowers. Three garden fences decorate the border, creating a sense of multiple perspectives and adding to the excitement of the central scene. Dimensions: 8.75" diameter Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $380 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 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.
