18th-century Dutch Delft Shaped Chinoiserie Polychrome Plaque
Located in Downingtown, PA
Dutch Delft Polychrome Chinoiserie Wall Plaque
Circa 1730-1740
This vibrant wall plaque is a superb example of Dutch Delftware, capturing the charm and technical skill of the Delft potters during the high period of the Rococo.
Description and Design
This beautifully modeled and painted plaque features an ornate, raised border composed of alternating cartouches, each filled with either floral sprays or Chinese auspicious objects.
The central scene is a charming and whimsical Chinoiserie fantasy. It depicts a gardener standing in a landscape next to a large vase of flowers, from which a large, colorful parrot perches on a branch. The composition is alive with details, including flying insects and the gardener's watering cans at his feet. The scene is painted in a distinctive and sophisticated palette of puce, yellow, and green, with blue accents. The plaque is surmounted by a molded blue shell, pierced with a hole for hanging.
Historical Background & Context 🧐
Dutch Delft and the China Trade: Delftware is the famous tin-glazed earthenware produced in the city of Delft from the 17th century onwards. Dutch potters, inspired by the beautiful and wildly expensive blue and white porcelain imported from China by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), developed this tin-glaze technique to create their own affordable versions.
The Move to Color: While Delft is famous for its blue and white wares, by the early 18th century (circa 1730-40), the potters began to introduce polychrome palettes to compete with the colorful Chinese famille verte and famille rose porcelain, as well as with rival European factories. This plaque, with its distinctive color scheme, is a perfect example of this fashionable shift.
Chinoiserie: This plaque is a wonderful expression of Chinoiserie, the imaginative and often fanciful European interpretation of Chinese life and art. The scene is not an accurate depiction of China but rather a charming pastiche of exotic elements—the gardener, the auspicious symbols—combined with familiar European motifs like the parrot, all designed to delight the eye and bring a touch of the exotic to a wealthy Dutch interior.
Condition, Provenance & Details
Condition: Excellent, original condition with no restoration. There is some minor, typical flaking to the glaze on the rim ("fritting"), which is characteristic of soft tin-glazed earthenware of this age.
Provenance: Formerly in the B.F. Edwards Collection...

Early 20th Century French HB Quimper Faïence Oval Wall Platter, "Noce Bretonne"
Located in Dallas, TX
This charming antique wall platter was hand-painted in Brittany, France, circa 1900 by the HB Quimper workshop. Oval and scalloped in form, the tin-glazed earthenware piece features a lively and colorful scene titled "Noce Bretonne" (“Breton Wedding”), capturing the festive spirit of a traditional provincial celebration. Musicians in regional attire accompany dancing couples and onlookers, all rendered with joyful expression and vibrant costume detail. The pastoral background, dotted with trees and birds, enhances the narrative with rustic charm.
The wide rim is delicately adorned with hand-painted floral sprays in warm ochre, green, and blue, framing the central composition and complementing the naturalistic palette. The reverse is signed with the classic “HB” mark, confirming its origin at the historic Grand Maison HB Quimper, a leading producer of Breton faïence since the 17th century.
Quimper pottery traces its roots to 1685, when Jean-Baptiste Bousquet established a faïence workshop in the town of Quimper. Celebrated for its hand-painted scenes of Breton life, maritime themes, and floral borders, Quimper faïence became a symbol of French regional identity and craftsmanship. The HB atelier later merged with other regional makers, and the tradition continues today.
Rich in cultural character and in excellent condition commensurate with age, this antique wall charger...

Mid-Century French Saint Clement Barbotine Faience Oyster Plates '6' and Dish
Located in Dallas, TX
These colorful antique plates and matching serving platter were created in France circa 1920, by the Saint Clement factory. The hand painted Majolica service features 6 round plates and one charger, all having oyster shaped and lemon wedge motifs. Every piece is marked underfoot "St Clement France". The set is in excellent condition with rich colors in the green and yellow palette.
The faience factory of Saint-Clement, 12 kms from Lunéville, was established in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette, who already owned another one in Lunéville. With this second factory he aimed at the higher segment of the market with prestigious objects. The factory received because of this a label as Royal Suplier for Marie-Antoinette's Trianon.
After Jacques died in 1758, his son Gabriel became the new owner. Between 1759 and 1763 the factory was managed by Charles Loyal, Jacques Chambrette's son-in-law, Paul Louis Cyfflé and the architect Richard Mique, who owned half the factory in 1786.
In the 18th century Saint-Clément produced domestic objects of ordinary earthenware, luxurious objects and decorative objects of fine earthenware (so-called "terre de pipe"). Between the first quarter of the 19th century and 1892 both current utensils of ordinary earthenware and fine earthenware are produced and decorative objects of grand and petit feu (Emile Gallé).
In the second half of the 19th century the factory reproduced Louis XIV objects, among them objects with very unnatural forms, where they attempted to imitate the multicolored decorations of Strasbourg faience...
