Chinese Export Porcelain Dutch Armorial Plates, Arms of Van Gellicum, Kangxi

Chinese Export Porcelain Dutch Armorial Plates, Arms of Van Gellicum, Kangxi

Located in Downingtown, PA

Chinese Export Porcelain Dutch Armorial Plates, Arms of Van Gellicum, Chinese Imari Rouge de Fer, Late Kangxi Period, Circa 1720–1730 This exceptional pair of Chinese Export porcelain armorial plates was commissioned for the Dutch Van Gellicum family in the late Kangxi period, circa 1720–1730. The plates are masterfully decorated in the striking rouge de fer palette of the Chinese Imari taste, featuring a central coat of arms encircled by a delicate floral scroll border. The outer rim is richly adorned with rocks, flowers, leaves, and distinctive zig-zag lines. These zig-zag motifs represent a thunderbolt, a design element frequently seen on Delft faience of the first quarter of the 18th century, itself heavily influenced by Japanese patterns. Between the center and rim lies an elegant band of scrollwork and intricate flower sprays. The prominent coat of arms features a chevron between three eagles and a bezant, with an unidentified charge in chief. The crest displays a heron-like bird clutching an eel or snake in its beak, positioned gracefully between two wings. According to Jochem Kroes in Chinese Armorial Porcelain for the Dutch Market, Chinese porcelain bearing this Dutch family...

Antique and Vintage Porcelain Dinner Plates, Platters and Serveware for Sale

Today you’re likely to bring out your antique and vintage porcelain in order to dress up your dining table for a special meal.

Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material.

Meissen Porcelain, one of the first factories to create real porcelain outside Asia, popularized figurine centerpieces during the 18th century in Germany, while works by Capodimonte, a porcelain factory in Italy, are synonymous with flowers and notoriously hard to come by. Modern porcelain houses such as Maison Fragile of Limoges, France — long a hub of private porcelain manufacturing — keep the city’s long tradition alive while collaborating with venturesome contemporary artists such as illustrator Jean-Michel Tixier.

Porcelain is not totally clumsy-guest-proof, but it is surprisingly durable and easy to clean. Its low permeability and hardness have rendered porcelain wares a staple in kitchens and dining rooms as well as a common material for bathroom sinks and dental veneers. While it is tempting to store your porcelain behind closed glass cabinet doors and reserve it only for display, your porcelain dinner plates and serving platters can safely weather the “dangers” of the dining room and be used during meals.

Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is stronger than ceramic because it is denser. 

On 1stDibs, browse an expansive collection of antique and vintage porcelain made in a variety of styles, including Regency, Scandinavian modern and other examples produced during the mid-century era, plus Rococo, which found its inspiration in nature and saw potters crafting animal figurines and integrating organic motifs such as floral patterns in their work.
