Dutch Delft Hand Painted Plate or Dish Late 18th Century Circa 1780

About the Item

The center of this hand painted Dutch Delft plate shows a lovely garden with a pine tree and a large peony. The scene continues onto the border, where we see three butterflies and more peonies. The border is decorated with a band of iron red cross-hatching interspersed with green dashes. The polychrome colors of the decoration are yellow, blue, iron red, green, and purple. These colors were used on antique Delft because they could withstand the kiln heat required to fire Delft. Dimensions: 9" diameter Condition: Very good overall, with faint lines in the glaze Price: $285 Background of Dutch Delft : The technique of making Delft was first described in 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.
