$380.00

This stunning small blue and white Delft plate was hand painted in England around 1760. It’s a gem! The plate features a charming chinoiserie scene, where an Oriental figure is pointing towards a vase while two butterflies flutter nearby. It seems as though she is signaling to both the viewer and the butterflies to take notice of the exquisite flowers that overflow the vase. Painted with flowers, flower buds, and scrolling vines, the lively border frames the center scene. This is a small gem of blue and white Delft!

Background of Delft

The Delft industry in the Netherlands began in Antwerp in the 15th century.
Protestant artisans forced to leave Antwerp due to religious pressure migrated to the northern Netherlands in the 16th century and established the pottery industry primarily in Delft.
The pottery makers in Delft began producing tin glazed earthenware in Chinese porcelain style to fill the market void caused by a war in China. As a result, the Delft pottery industry became very successful and eventually had a range of styles, including European subjects and original styles. At its peak, the city of Delft had almost 40 factories making Delftware.
