Set of Three Delft Blue and White Chargers 18th Century Circa 1780
$3,100.00This beautiful set of three Dutch Delft chargers is hand-painted in a rich cobalt blue with the image of a flowering fruit tree before a garden fence. An identical dish is preserved in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For a detailed image and discussion of its origin and attribution, see E. B. Schaap, Delft Ceramics at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, pp. 74–75. Each charger bears the mark of De Klaauw (“The Claw”), the workshop of Lambertus Sanderus (active 1763–1806), renowned for its finely detailed painting and saturated cobalt glazes.

Background of Chinese Imari porcelains:
In the late 17th century, Japanese potters in Arita first made export porcelains with elaborate gilt designs to cater to European consumers. As the wares were shipped abroad from the port of Imari, this category of brilliantly enameled porcelain was conventionally known as “Imari ware.” From the early 18th century, Chinese artisans followed the Japanese example and manufactured similar Imari-style porcelain products identified by connoisseurs as “Chinese Imari ware.”
Our refined charger is an excellent example of mature Chinese Imari Porcelain for the West. -
