Pair Dutch Delft Hand Painted Imari Dishes 18th Century Circa 1780

About the Item

These Dutch pancake plates are adorned with a beautiful hand-painted scene in bold Imari colors of cobalt blue and iron red, enhanced by forest green and bright yellow, which replaces the use of gilding. The scene depicts an imaginary garden with an array of flowers growing above the garden fence. A pair of long-tailed songbirds can also be seen in the garden. The landscape is painted in polychrome, and in the center, a bird is perched on the fence; a second bird flies above while numerous plants and flowers sprout from rocks. Another bird is depicted flying in the air. As is traditional with Dutch pancake plates, the scene covers the entire surface. There is no decorative border. The effect is marvelous! This pair of plates was made in the Netherlands circa 1780. Dimensions: 8.85" in diameter x 1" deep Condition: Excellent with very small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $1,130 Background of Polychrome Delft: Beginning in the last quarter of the 16th century, Italian artisans introduced tin-glazed pottery painted in polychrome colors into the Netherlands. Its defining characteristics are a paste that is cream to light buff-colored and decoration that includes geometric, floral, landscape, figural, and Chinese motifs painted in blue, green, yellow, black, red, and manganese purple.

  • 18th Century Dutch Polychrome Delft Baluster Form Vase
    Located in Dallas, TX
    This hand-painted Delft vase was produced in the Netherlands in the 1700’s. Delft is a city in the western part of the Netherlands that is world-renowned for ceramic pieces. As a home port of the Dutch East India Company, Delft was at the forefront of producing faience wares, which were influenced by imported Chinese porcelain. The prototypical Delftware has a white background with hand-painted cobalt blue imagery, though they can also be found in multi-colored or “polychrome” variations, such as ours. Our baluster form vase has a hand painted scene depicting a woman in a flowing dress walking across a field. The scene is surrounded by flowers, curled leaves, and a diapered background with flowering vine offshoots. On the opposite side of the baluster is a large flowering vine. The lid has a rural life cartouche that is painted with a scene depicting a farm overlooking a field or body of water . The handle of the lid has a similarly colored bird perched on a sinuous branch, while pecking at a berry. This particular design was seen on many delft baluster...
