How do I clean a delft charger?

Dust these pieces gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface particles. Avoid immersing antique earthenware in water, as moisture can penetrate porous bodies and historic glazes.

Were chargers used for dining?

Large chargers served primarily as decorative display items on walls or tables during earlier centuries. Smaller plates and meat platters fulfilled active roles in food service.

How do I date a blue and white plate?

Examine the base fabric, glaze characteristics, and decorative style to determine the manufacturing period. Transfer printed scenes often point towards nineteenth century production, while hand-painted tin-glazed surfaces typically indicate eighteenth century origins.

Can I use these platters for food?

Historic ceramic pieces with historic glazes are best preserved for display rather than daily culinary use. Surface wear and porous earthenware bodies make modern food service impractical for antique items.
