Blue and White Dutch Delft Dish Hand Painted 18th Century Circa 1760

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 butterfly hovering on one side and a songbird in flight her head tilted up in song on the other. The scene is set against rockwork and blooming flowers. The border is decorated with three garden fences which create a sense of multiple perspectives, adding to the excitement of the central scene. Dimensions: 8.75" diameter Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $480 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.

    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.
