About the Item

This blue and white Dutch Delft charger was hand painted in the mid-18th century, circa 1760. The artist has created a lovely garden scene using two shades of cobalt blue. The simple but elegant decoration features flowers in full bloom, leaves, and rockwork. The border is also beautifully decorated with similar flowers. The blue painted edge frames the scene. The back of the charger is decorated with simple lines indicating floral decoration (see the last image). Dimensions: 13.5" diameter x 1.5" height Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored, the edge blue touched in. Price: $1,320 Background of Dutch 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. Much of the most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then began to cover 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 had greatly improved, and Delft began its golden age.
