Antique Blue and White Delft Plate English Chinoiserie, Hand-Painted, Ca. 1760

About the Item

This stunning blue and white Delft dish was hand painted in England around 1760. It features a charming chinoiserie scene, where an Oriental figure is pointing towards a vase while two butterflies flutter nearby. It seems as though she is signaling to both the viewer and the butterflies to take notice of the exquisite flowers that overflow the vase. Painted with flowers, flower buds, and scrolling vines, the lively border frames the center scene. This is a small gem of blue and white English Delftware! Dimensions: 7.75" diameter x .5" height Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $390 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.
