What is a delft floral ceramic plate?

A delft floral ceramic plate is a tin-glazed earthenware piece featuring hand-painted botanical or geometric decoration, typically originating from 18th century Dutch or English kilns. These items range from large display chargers to smaller domestic plates, capturing traditional European craftsmanship.

How were these plates used historically?

Large chargers served primarily as decorative wall hangings or sideboard centrepieces during the 18th century, while smaller plates saw occasional use at table. Their tin-glazed surfaces were somewhat vulnerable to chipping, which encouraged display over heavy everyday utility.

How do I care for antique delft?

Keep your pieces away from direct moisture and handle them with care to protect the historic tin glaze from impact or abrasion. Display them securely using appropriate plate hangers or stands designed for antique ceramics.

How can I tell the age of a plate?

Dating relies on examining the characteristics of the earthenware body, the tone of the tin glaze, and the style of the hand-painted floral motifs. Eighteenth-century examples often exhibit specific glaze pooling and pigment behaviours distinct from later 19th-century productions.
