Pair Dutch Delft Dishes Hand Painted 18th Century Celebrating the Dutch Republic
About the Item
This pair of Delft dishes was hand-painted in the Netherlands in the 18th century, circa 1780.
We see a lion and the motto Nu Rust ik Veilig, "Now I Rest Safe."
The lion is a symbol of the Netherlands. He has a happy, friendly face.
The words above him refer to the formation of the Dutch Republic.
The seven arrows held together in the lion's paw symbolize cooperation between the seven provinces of the Netherlands.
Individually, the provinces were vulnerable, but together in the Dutch Republic, they became strong.
The dish is painted in the polychrome colors of 18th-century Delft.
The lion is painted in manganese. He rests on a moss-green grassy ground.
The border is decorated with apples painted yellow and iron-red.
Dimensions: 9" diameter x 1" tall
Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored
Price: $ 720
Background of Dutch Delft:
The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in "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 finest Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. First, the Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then covered the white tin-glaze with a clear glaze, giving the fired surface depth. Over time they created a good resemblance to porcelain. By about 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
