Delft plate - Ship in sail off the coast. Glasgow C1760

About the Item

A dinner-plate, painted in the delft style, with a ship coming to land; bunches of grapes around the edge. See Michael Archer, Delftwarem m233 no B258 for a similar example, which he places at Delftfield (Glasgow) on the basis of wasters (fragments) found there in archaelogical digs. Scottish Delftware, including Delftfield Pottery, represents a fascinating chapter in Scottish ceramic history. Delftware itself originally comes from the Netherlands, specifically Delft, where potters began producing tin-glazed earthenware in the 16th century, inspired by Chinese porcelain. Scottish Delftware, however, emerged in the 18th century as Scottish potters sought to emulate the popular Dutch style. Delftfield Pottery, located in Glasgow, Scotland, was one of the most notable producers of Scottish Delftware. Established by William and John Smith around 1748, Delftfield Pottery became renowned for its distinctive blue-and-white ceramic pieces. The pottery drew its name from the Delftfield area where it was located. Scottish Delftware, including pieces from Delftfield Pottery, typically featured designs inspired by Chinese porcelain and Dutch Delftware but often incorporated uniquely Scottish elements. These pieces were decorated with motifs such as thistles, roses, and other floral patterns, as well as scenes of Scottish landscapes and historical events. While Scottish Delftware was popular during its time, it faced competition from English pottery manufacturers, particularly those in Staffordshire. Additionally, changes in taste and fashion contributed to the decline of Delftware production in Scotland by the late 18th century. Today, Scottish Delftware, including pieces from Delftfield Pottery, is highly collectible and sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of historical ceramics. These pieces provide insight into Scotland's artistic and cultural heritage during the 18th century.
