Lobed Dish with Purple and Yellow Chinoiserie Landscape Delft, 1680-1700

About the Item

Lobed dish with purple and yellow chinoiserie landscape Delft, 1680-1700 Dimensions: diameter 22 cm / 8.66 in. The lobed dish is composed of twenty double lobes and is painted in purple and yellow with a simplified chinoiserie landscape. A sitting Chinese figure is depicted in the curved center framed by a band of purple ornaments. The border is decorated with a continuous landscape with two additional Chinese figures. In the last decades of the seventeenth century many lobed dishes were painted with Chinese motifs, mostly landscapes with Chinese figures. These decorations were based on Chinese porcelain from the period of the last Ming emperor Chongzhen (1628-1644). It is not clear if the Delftware potters followed Chinese porcelain: it is also possible that Japanese porcelain from the sixteen-fifties and sixties served as an example. The stylistic similarities between Delftware and Japanese porcelain are striking. Most lobed dishes were painted in blue, but multi-coloured ones also occur. They are mainly executed in purple and yellow, blue and yellow and sometimes in purple and green. Small-lobed dishes always have the same design. The center is painted with a Chinese figure in a landscape framed by a band of ornaments. The border has a continuous landscape with Chinese figures, the large-lobed dishes have four figures, the small ones two. The space between the center and the border decorations is left white, though sometimes painted with single or double circles. It is striking that multi-coloured lobed dishes with chinoiserie landscapes are attributed to both England and Germany. It cannot be ruled out that some were actually made in those two countries. However, the majority of this late seventeenth century group was manufactured in the city of Delft, by several of the thirty potteries active there. The lobed dish is in good condition with clear glaze. There are the usual edge shards as would be expected with Delft pottery. There is a faint hairline at 16:00, the plate sounds good.

    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...
