Were these plates used for dining?

Large chargers and decorative plates were generally produced for display on walls or sideboards rather than everyday dining use. Their tin-glazed surfaces were susceptible to scratching from cutlery. Smaller plates occasionally served functional roles, but surviving examples from the eighteenth century largely functioned as visual pieces within Georgian interiors.

How do I hang a charger safely?

Displaying a large charger requires a specialised wall hanger with coated springs or a bespoke plate display stand that distributes the weight evenly across the ceramic body. Avoid hanging pieces in direct sunlight or areas prone to dampness, as the earthenware and tin glaze benefit from stable atmospheric conditions.

What is the difference between blue and white and polychrome?

Blue and white delftware relies exclusively on cobalt pigment applied beneath or onto the tin glaze to create monochromatic designs of floral or scenic motifs. Polychrome pieces incorporate additional pigment colours, such as reds, yellows, and greens, giving the hand-painted surface a more varied palette.
