This pair of 18th century Dutch Baroque decorative plates comprises tin-glazed earthenware items finished with a glossy white glaze and hand-painted cobalt blue botanical decoration. Each round plate features a scalloped rim, a central hand-painted floral motif, and a detailed floral border, displaying visible chips and surface wear along the edges. The earthenware measures 22.5 cm high, 22.5 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. In a modern home, these pieces suit display on a sideboard top or as part of an English Country House collection. They bring historical character to a dining room, kitchen, or living space when arranged on shelving or mounted for decorative purposes.

FAQs

Delftware emerged in the seventeenth century in the Netherlands as European potters sought to imitate imported Chinese Kraak porcelain. Using a tin glaze over red clay bodies and hand painting cobalt blue motifs, manufacturers in Delft created accessible luxury ceramics that spread rapidly across Britain and Europe.

Traditional Delftware is crafted from buff or red earthenware clay coated in an opaque white glaze containing tin oxide. Cobalt oxide pigment was painted onto the unburnt glaze prior to firing, creating the characteristic deep blue decoration.

Authentic period Delftware exhibits a soft earthenware body often visible where the glaze has chipped at the rim, known as fritting. The underside frequently features a reddish clay tint, irregular hand-turned marks, visible glaze pinholes, and subtle variations in the hand-painted blue cobalt decoration.

Delftware ceramics can be mounted on wall plates arrangements, displayed on open kitchen shelving, or arranged on plate stands upon a sideboard. Their classic blue and white colour scheme complements both traditional country interiors and minimalist contemporary spaces.

Clean tin-glazed earthenware gently using dry microfibre cloths or lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid soaking, as moisture can enter cracks in the glaze and cause deterioration of the soft ceramic body underneath.
