How do I hang a delft charger safely?

Heavy wire spring hangers exert pressure on the fragile tin-glazed edges and can cause chipping over time. Use a padded bespoke display stand or a professional wall mount that supports the base securely. Ensure the wall fixing is secure and keep the charger away from areas of high vibration or direct sunlight.

Can I use antique delft plates for food?

Tin-glazed earthenware is porous and the historic glaze may contain lead compounds that leach when exposed to acidic foods. Historic pieces are best reserved for display and decorative purposes rather than daily dining. Wash them only by hand with lukewarm water when necessary, avoiding soaking or harsh modern detergents.

What is the difference between a plate and a charger?

Plates are smaller and were historically produced for individual dining use at the table. Chargers are substantially larger vessels created primarily for presentation and display on furniture or walls. Both share the same tin-glazed earthenware construction and painted decorative techniques from the period.
