Pair Blue and White Large Hand Painted Dutch Delft Plates The Axe Circa 1780
Pair Blue and White Large Hand Painted Dutch Delft Plates The Axe Circa 1780

Pair Blue and White Large Hand Painted Dutch Delft Plates The Axe Circa 1780

By The Axe

Located in Katonah, NY

This pair of large Dutch Delft plates, traditionally referred to as chargers, was hand-painted at the renowned De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe) factory in Delft, circa 1780. Each plate measures 12.25 inches in diameter and is centered with a carefully balanced composition depicting a basket overflowing with flowers, rendered with assurance and clarity in rich cobalt blue. The surrounding border alternates between scrolling floral sprays and diamond-patterned panels, creating a rhythmic frame that guides the eye across the surface. Warm ochre-painted rims provide contrast against the white tin-glazed ground, lending definition and visual depth while neatly enclosing the decoration. The pair remains in excellent condition and reflects the confident workmanship and refined decorative control associated with late 18th-century production at The Axe factory. Dimensions: 12.25 inches diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $1,100 Decoration: Hand-painted floral basket with alternating border panels Material: Delft tin-glazed earthenware Style: Dutch Delftware Origin: Netherlands, De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe) Date: Circa 1780 Notable Details: Produced at De Porceleyne Bijl (The Axe), active 1637–1803 Strong cobalt blue painting...

Located in Downingtown, PA

Frankfurt Faience Blue & White Chinoiserie Bottle Vase, Trumpet Neck, 1680 This rare and early German faience bottle vase is attributed to the Frankfurt manufactory and dates to the last decades of the 17th century. The globular body rises to a slender neck that flares into a trumpet mouth, a form taken directly from the Chinese porcelain bottles that reached Europe in the second half of the 17th century. The vase is painted in a rich underglaze blue on a bright white tin glaze with the chinoiserie landscape for which Frankfurt was celebrated. The scene shows a Chinese figure in long flowing robes seated on a rocky bank and leaning forward, surrounded by stippled rockwork, sprays of grasses and tall broad-leaved banana plants...

Polychrome Delftware Wall Plaque with Grotesque Ornament, Delft, circa 1750

By Delft

Located in DELFT, NL

This antique eighteenth-century Dutch Delftware wall plaque is made of tin-glazed earthenware, also known as Delft faience. The shaped ceramic plaque is painted in blue, green, yellow, iron-red and manganese. Its raised, self-framing border is outlined in blue and decorated with continuous scrolling ornament against a green ground. The centre is painted with an elaborate symmetrical fantasy ornament composed of three winged masks, volutes, foliage, shell motifs and scale-patterned fields. The central mask supports a two-handled vase filled with flowers, with a bird in flight above the bouquet. The plaque is pierced at the top for suspension and was made specifically for wall display. The composition belongs to the broader tradition of French-inspired grotesque ornament that circulated in the Dutch Republic through prints by designers such as Jean Bérain and Daniel Marot. By the mid-eighteenth century, Delft painters had adapted this ornamental vocabulary freely, combining masks, scrolls and fantastical forms into highly decorative compositions. Delftware wall plaques held a distinct place within eighteenth-century Dutch interiors. In contemporary household inventories, they were sometimes recorded as porceleine schilderijen, or “porcelain paintings”, reflecting their function as ceramic counterparts to paintings on panel, canvas or copper. During the eighteenth century, Delft potters increasingly produced plaques in moulds with shaped outlines and raised borders, creating complete, self-framed decorative objects. With its unusual grotesque decoration, strong polychrome palette and pronounced shaped border, this antique Delft plaque...

Polychrome Delftware Wall Plaque with Bird and Flower Basket, Delft, circa 1750

By Delft

Located in DELFT, NL

Polychrome Delftware Wall Plaque with Bird and Flower Basket Delft, circa 1750 This antique eighteenth-century Dutch Delftware wall plaque is made of tin-glazed earthenware and painted in blue, green, yellow, iron-red and manganese. The lozenge-shaped plaque has a raised, self-framing border and is pierced at the top with two holes for suspension. The centre is painted with an exotic bird perched among flowering branches rising from a rectangular basket. The flowers and foliage are enclosed within a shaped cartouche outlined in yellow and green scrollwork. Large stylised flower heads interrupt the surrounding blue diaper-patterned ground, while the outer border is decorated with continuous scrolling ornament in blue, yellow and iron-red. The combination of an exotic bird, abundant flowers and geometric patterning reflects the continuing influence of Chinese and Japanese porcelain on mid-eighteenth-century Delftware. Delft painters did not simply reproduce Asian designs, but combined individual motifs with European cartouches, scrollwork and shaped borders to create new decorative compositions. Wall plaques of this type were produced specifically for display. In contemporary household inventories they were sometimes described as porceleine schilderijen, or “porcelain paintings”, reflecting their role as ceramic counterparts to framed paintings. By the eighteenth century, Delft potters increasingly formed plaques in moulds with pronounced outlines and integrated decorative borders, creating complete, self-framed objects for the interior. With its strong polychrome palette, lively bird and flower decoration and compact 26 cm format, this shaped Delft plaque...
