How do I hang a heavy charger safely?

Use a specialised wire wall plate hanger that distributes the weight evenly across the rim without putting pressure on the centre. Ensure the fixing in the wall is secured firmly into a stud or uses a proper wall anchor. Avoid spring-loaded hangers with excessively tight grips that might stress the earthenware body. Check the security of the wire periodically to keep the plate safe.

How do I tell Dutch Delft from French faience?

Dutch Delft traditionally favors cobalt blue and white designs inspired by Chinese porcelain, alongside characteristic geometric or floral borders. The clay body tends to be slightly lighter and the glaze formulation distinctive to Netherlandish kilns. French faience from centres like Quimper or Desvres often incorporates richer polychrome palettes, including manganese, yellow, and green. Regional motifs, such as figures in local costume, help identify the French provincial origin.

Are these plates meant for daily dining?

These pieces are intended purely for decorative display rather than practical use at the table. Tin-glazed earthenware has a softer body than modern ceramics and can easily chip or absorb liquids through glaze wear. Treating them as wall art or cabinet pieces preserves the historical glaze and painted surface. Displaying them away from direct heat sources protects the fragile earthenware body.
