Are these chargers English or Dutch?

Eighteenth-century delftware chargers were manufactured in both England and the Netherlands, with distinct stylistic overlaps due to the migration of potters and designs across the North Sea. English workshops in places like London, Bristol, and Liverpool produced substantial quantities alongside famous Dutch centres. Distinguishing between them often relies on subtle characteristics of the clay body, glaze tone, and the specific palette of the floral painting rather than broad visual categories.

How do I hang a charger safely?

Hanging a heavy earthenware charger requires a purpose-built spring-loaded plate hanger that distributes weight evenly around the rim without placing stress on the ceramic body. Ensure the wall fixing is secure and anchored into solid masonry or a stud. Keep display locations away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and areas subject to vibration to protect the historical tin-glaze from environmental damage.

What does polychrome mean on delftware?

Polychrome decoration refers to the use of multiple colours beyond standard cobalt blue, incorporating pigments such as iron red, manganese purple, yellow, and green. Painters applied these mineral colours directly onto the unfired tin-glaze before the final kiln firing. This multi-coloured approach allowed artisans to create vibrant floral and geometric compositions that reflect both Asian export porcelain influences and European folk traditions.
