Five Delft Dishes in the "Lightning" Pattern Hand Painted Netherlands Circa 1860

About the Item

This set of plates has a zigzag pattern, one of the favorite decorations for upscale Dutch Delft in the 18th and 19th centuries. The hand painted Bliksem "Lightning" pattern was first made in Dutch Delft factories in the late 17th or early 18th century. The center of the plate shows an irregularly shaped medallion around flowering water plants. Zigzag lightning bolts shoot out from the center. The lightning bolts reach out to three flower-filled circles. The remaining space is filled with more flowering plants painted blue, green, yellow, and orange. This set was hand painted in the Netherlands circa 1860. Dimensions: 8.75" diameter Condition: Excellent with tiny edge frits invisibly restored Price: $1,830 Background of the Lightning pattern: The Lightning pattern was made by several of the best Delft factories, including The Peacock, The White Star, and The Greek A, made the pattern. The pattern was inspired by Japanese porcelains imported into the Netherlands in the 17th century. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a plate made in its collection at De Witte Ster, "The White Star," between 1705 and 1723. For more information, please refer to E B Schaap's "Delft Ceramics at the Philadelphia Museum of Art" pgs 52 and 53, which includes a discussion and image of the pattern.
