How do I hang a heavy charger safely?

Heavy earthenware chargers require specialised spring-loaded brass wall hangers that distribute the weight evenly across the rim. Ensure the fixing secures firmly into masonry rather than plaster alone. Avoid wire attachments that rest on the footring without proper tension, as centuries-old ceramics need stable support.

Were these plates used for dining?

Most large chargers and decorative plates served primarily for display on walls or dressers in wealthy households. Their tin-glazed earthenware bodies chip easily and were valued more for visual impact. Smaller plates occasionally saw functional use, but surviving examples with painted surfaces generally functioned as ornamental items.

How do I tell seventeenth-century pieces apart from later ones?

Seventeenth-century pieces often display heavier earthenware bodies and distinct Dutch Baroque or Kraak influences in the painted cobalt designs. The tin glaze on earlier items can show characteristic minor pitting and edge fritting. Eighteenth-century examples introduce broader polychrome palettes and grand feu manganese techniques alongside traditional blue and white painting.
