Delft, Pair of Blue and White Chinoiserie Dishes, 1680 - 1700

About the Item

Pair of blue and white chinoiserie dishes. Delft 1680-1700. [attributed to] The Three Porcelain Ash Barrels pottery Pair of blue and white dishes with a wide-spreading flange, the surface painted entirely with a blue and white chinoiserie decoration in a double circle. Two conversing Chinese are sitting on a terrace in a garden, with two trees in the background. A third Chinese stands to the right. Marked examples of this characteristic decor are known from two Delftware potteries: the Metal Pot and especially from the Three Porcelain Ash Barrels. Vases, tazza’s and beer mugs with the same chinoiserie decor are also known from the latter pottery. Many of these pieces are marked with GK, a smaller number with PK. GK is the mark of Gerrit Kam who owned the Three Porcelain Ash Barrels pottery between 1679 and 1700. The PK mark belongs to his son Pieter Kam and his widow who ran the pottery between 1700 and 1716. We may consider this pottery as the creator of this chinoiserie decor. It must have been a particularly attractive decoration, which was certainly widely sold in the Baltic Sea region, as evidenced by archaeological finds from Gdansk [the former Dantzig] and the pieces from old family possessions which have been preserved in the National Museum in Gdansk. Based on a comparison with several marked items, this pair of dishes can be attributed to the Three Porcelain Ash Barrels. Dimensions: diameter 33 cm / 12.99 in each. Condition: is very good considering their age of 340 years. Usual small rim chips. A few manufacturing flaws in the glaze. I carefully package all items in a double-box and use first-class packaging material.

  • Delft, Purple and Yellow Chinoiserie Jug, circa 1680-1700
    By Dutch Originals
    Located in Verviers, BE
    Purple and yellow chinoiserie jug. Delft, circa 1680 - 1700 The ovoid jug stands on a lightly spreading foot and has a tapered neck with spout. The top of the handle is pierced for a metal mount. The jug is painted in purple and yellow with a continuous chinoiserie landscape with Chinese figures. Bands with rectangular ornaments between double circles are applied on the shoulder and just above the foot. The neck is painted with a double leaf motif. The handle is decorated with stripes and dots, alternately applied in purlple and yellow. Purple or multi-coloured Delftware with chinoiserie landscapes are relatively rare, though versions in blue and purple, blue and yellow, green and purple are known, as well as three colour combinations like purple, yellow and green. A butter pot in this last colour combination was excavated from a cesspit in the grounds of the former Porcelain Bottle pottery in Delft. Multi-coloured chinoiserie decorations are painted especially on lobed dishes and also on beer mugs, covered spiced wine bowls and small plates. A purple, yellow and green painted beer mug in the Princessehof Ceramics Museum in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, combines a chinoiserie landscape with a depiction of stadtholder prins Willem III...

  • Polychrome Chinoiserie Lobed Dish Delft, 1680-1690
    By Dutch Originals
    Located in ROSSUM, GE
    Polychrome chinoiserie lobed dish. Delft, 1680-1690 The lobed dish is composed of nine wide lobes around a nine-fold centre and is painted with a chinoiserie decor in purple, yellow and green. Two Chinese figures in an eastern landscape are depicted in the centre, one of them carries a banner. The landscape is framed within lines and a white band. The border is decorated with a continuous landscape with two reclining and two standing Chinese figures. A lobed dish of the same shape and design in purple, blue and green is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts holds a variant in blue and yellow. In the same museum are three lobed dishes, each with twenty-seven double lobes with chinoiserie landscapes in the same colour scheme of purple, yellow and green. In the second half of the seventeenth century many lobed dishes were painted with Chinese motifs, mostly landscapes with Chinese figures. The vast majority are in blue. Two- or multi-coloured chinoiserie decorations were very fashionable during a short period of time, predominantly in the 1680s. In addition to lobed dishes, they also appear on wine jugs, beer mugs, butter pots, covered spiced-wine bowls and dishes. Some of this Delftware is still wrongly attributed to a factory in the German town of Frankfurt, and sometimes it is even considered to be English. An excavated chinoiserie butter pot in purple, green and yellow, found in a cesspit in the grounds of the Porcelain Bottle factory, proves otherwise. A beer mug with the portrait of the Dutch prince Willem III...
