Blue and White Delft Charger Hand Painted Liverpool England 18th Century Ca.1760

About the Item

This exquisite hand-painted Delft dish, made in Liverpool, England, circa 1760, captures a moment in time. The center of this Delftware charger features a hovering songbird, a large peony, and a pair of butterflies, creating a lovely garden scene. The scene flows onto the border, where two butterflies and three flower sprigs add to the charm. The entire scene is rendered in just two shades of underglaze blue, and the blue-painted edge—characteristic of some 18th-century Liverpool Delft—elegantly frames the artwork. Dimensions: 13.5" diameter x 1.5" height Condition: Excellent, with slight edge frits invisibly restored; the edge blue retouched. Price: $1,430 Background of English Delft: The art of making Delft began in England in the Mid-1500s. An English delftware jug with a silver mount hallmarked 1550 has been found in East Malling, Kent, 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, with Bristol, London, Liverpool, and Lambeth being the main producing centers. After that, creamware pottery began to replace Delft as the useful pottery of the English middle class.
