These three large Dutch Delft blue and white chargers were hand-painted circa 1800 with the classic Peacock’s Feathers pattern.

At the center of each charger is a vase filled with stylized flowers and radiating fernlike leaves, creating the distinctive fan-shaped composition associated with the pattern. The borders are densely painted with bold cartouches and scrolling ornament in deep cobalt blue.

A yellow-painted rim encircles each charger, providing a vivid contrast to the cobalt decoration.

Two chargers bear underglaze marks for De Vergulde Bloempot, and one bears the mark of De Klaaw, two established Delft factories that produced traditional blue and white wares during this period.
Displayed together, the three chargers create a particularly impressive wall group.

Background of Dutch 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 began to cover 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 approximately 1650, the technical skills of potters and painters had significantly improved, and Delft entered its golden age.
