18th Century Dutch Delft Charger

18th century
Sold 9 March 2026 · Antique and Unique
This “18th Century Dutch Delft Charger” found a buyer.

It was listed by Antique and Unique. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A large and pretty blue and white Dutch delftware charger dating from c1780, with a central floral design surrounded by four complimentary patterns, a geometric border, with a yellow band to the rim. The plate has an old stapled repair to a crack.

A very attractive plate with nicely painted decoration. It has a hole drilled through the back to carry a hanging wire, but this unfortunately appears to have caused the crack as it runs right though the centre of this. The crack has been repaired with metal staples - I have a bit of a soft spot for ceramics with old stapled repairs so for me this adds to its charm, but I’m sure not everyone will see it the same way, and this is reflected in the price.

Condition: Other than the crack mentioned above the charger is in good condition, with some wear and chipping to the glaze around the rim, as is common with delftware.

Dutch delftware emerged in the 17th century in the city of Delft, originating as a European response to imported Chinese porcelain. Potters utilised tin-glazing techniques to achieve a brilliant white surface that imitated Asian imports, eventually developing distinct European floral and narrative motifs.

These pieces are typically constructed from a buff-coloured earthenware body, shaped either on a potters wheel or in a mould. The unfired clay was coated with a tin-oxide opacified glaze, hand-painted with cobalt blue pigments, and then fired to create a glossy finish.

Authenticity is assessed through glaze characteristics, such as characteristic crazing, minor edge frit, and weight. The cobalt painting should show natural brushwork variations, and the reverse often features a lead glaze or unglazed foot rim consistent with period manufacturing techniques.

This piece can be mounted on a wall using a specialised plate hanger to create a focal point, or displayed upright on a dresser or console using a sturdy display stand. The classic blue and white palette pairs effectively with both neutral minimalist backdrops and rich, traditional colour schemes.

Keep the ceramic out of direct sunlight to prevent any potential pigment degradation over extended periods. Clean only with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and avoid submerging in water or using abrasive cleaning agents due to the delicate nature of the historical glaze.
