Dutch Delft Charger Hand Painted Polychrome Colors 18th Century Holland C-1780

About the Item

This antique Dutch Delft charger is hand painted in a vibrant array of polychrome hues, including cobalt blue, green, yellow, iron red, ochre, and manganese purple. We see a beautiful flower-filled garden featuring a willow tree with a purple trunk and ochre leaves, a single large flower with green and red leaves, a garden fence painted in purple with yellow posts outlined in red, and rockwork painted in a vibrant blue. The palette of colors is harmonious. The bright blue rockwork enhances all the other colors of the scene. The effect is beautiful! Dimensions: 14.25" diameter Condition: Excellent with small edge chips invisibly restored Price: $860 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 were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
