Pair Blue and White Delft Plates or Dishes Hand Painted Netherlands, circa 1800

About the Item

This pair of blue and white Delft plates were hand painted circa 1800 in the Netherlands. At the center of this lovely pair of dishes is a traditional Dutch Delft view of a garden in full bloom. We see flowers, ferns, vines, one large peony, a beautiful garden fence, and floating above a vase with flowers. The artist used cobalt blue in various shades to enhance the beauty of the design. The border is adorned with a band of floral decoration that adds an elegant touch to the overall design. The edge is painted with traditional ochre-colored slip. Dimensions: 9" diameter Condition: Excellent with slight edge frits invisibly restored Price: $960 Background of Delft: The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in "The 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 most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. 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 depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues. Over time they created a good resemblance to porcelain. By circa 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
