About the Item

This pair of blue and white Dutch Delft chargers was made in the Netherlands circa 1780. They feature a vibrant and beautiful design with a large flower at the center, surrounded by leaves and swirling vines. The border is decorated with similar leaves and swirling vines in a complementary style. The yellow painted edge is made to imitate the gilded edge of much porcelain of the 18th century. Dimensions: 13.5" diameter x1.5" height Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $1,960 Background of Dutch Delft: By the middle of the 15th century, potters from southern Europe migrated through France to the Netherlands, and the earthenware industry became well established in Antwerp. In the second half of the 16th century, many protestant artisans were forced to leave Antwerp under religious pressure. As a result, most moved to the northern Netherlands. The rise of the potting industry in the northern Netherlands coincided with the decline of the beer brewing industry in the town of Delft. As the brewers of Delft ceased production, their large abandoned buildings on the canals were quickly occupied by pottery makers. The pottery makers could utilize the vast spaces and the convenient water source to transport their raw materials and finished wares. In the middle of the 17th century, a war in China interrupted the production of Chinese blue and white porcelain to Europe. However, the potters in Delft were able to fill the void in the market, and they began producing earthenware in the style of Chinese porcelain, which they successfully marketed as "porcelain." Within the next century and a half, the Delft pottery makers became increasingly successful, and their range of styles broadened to include European subjects and other original styles. At the height of production, the city of Delft counted almost 40 factories. So successful were the Delft factories that many factories across Europe and especially in England across the channel began to produce delftware.
