About the Item

Chinoiserie Charm: A Pair of Large Dutch Delft Chargers, Circa 1765 ________________________________________ This is an appealing pair of Dutch Delft circular chargers (large dishes), thinly potted and dating to approximately 1765. These pieces exemplify the Delft potters' adaptation of East Asian artistic influences, a style known as Chinoiserie, which was highly popular in 18th-century Europe. Decoration and Style The dishes are painted in the characteristic underglaze blue and white palette. The central design of each charger features an imaginative still life arranged against a clear, white ground: • Central Motif: A grouping of stylized ceramic vases and jardinières (planters) are depicted, placed both on and around a low, geometric table. • Botanical Elements: Both jardinières contain growing, flowering plants. • The Bird: The composition is crowned by a small, charming bird perched atop the tallest central vessel. The wide, sloping border features a repeating, decorative design composed of stylized flowering plants and scrolling foliage, which frames the central image beautifully. The overall effect is a vibrant, yet delicate, interpretation of Oriental ceramics by European craftsmen. Details and Condition • Origin: Delft, Holland • Material: Tin-glazed earthenware (Delftware) • Dimensions: 13 1/4 inches diameter x 2 inches deep (33.66 cm diameter). • Condition: Good antique condition, showing the characteristic minor frits (small chips to the glaze, especially around the rim) typical of tin-glazed earthenware of this age. ________________________________________ Historical Context and References 1. Dutch Delftware and Chinoiserie In the 17th and 18th centuries, Dutch potters in Delft successfully imitated expensive Chinese blue and white porcelain brought to Europe by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Since true porcelain was difficult to manufacture, the potters used a white tin glaze over earthenware, creating a visually similar but softer product known as Delftware. The Chinoiserie style, seen here in the treatment of the vessels and plants, reflects the European fascination with exotic Asian motifs and fantasy landscapes. This pair of chargers is a testament to the skill of the Dutch decorators who created their own unique version of the Far Eastern aesthetic. 2. Significance of Chargers Large plates or chargers were commonly used for serving food and also functioned as prominent decorative pieces, often displayed on dressers or hung on walls, indicating the owner's wealth and fashionable taste. References for Comparison For further study and comparative examples of similar Dutch Delft Chinoiserie chargers: • The Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam): Holds extensive collections of Delftware demonstrating various Chinoiserie styles and dates. • The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A): Features a broad selection of European tin-glazed earthenware, including fine Delft pieces. • De Jonge, C. H. (1970). Delft Ceramics. (A foundational text on the history and styles of Dutch Delftware.) (Ref: NY10450-nmrr)
