Background on Delftware

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Delft potters in the Netherlands developed a distinctive style influenced by imported Chinese porcelain.
When Chinese exports declined in the mid-17th century, Dutch potteries filled the demand with their own interpretations, resulting in a flourishing industry centered in the city of Delft.
This pair of chargers reflects the mature phase of Delft production, when painters had mastered the synthesis of Eastern and Western styles, creating designs that were both elegant and highly decorative.
