Special Characteristics
Special Characteristics
1. Design & Features
: This plaque showcases a classic baroque scalloped form, a design commonly seen in mid-20th century Dutch faience.
- The deep cobalt decoration is entirely hand-painted, with visible brushwork and layered shading that bring the floral basket motif to life.
- The floral border frames the central artwork and provides balance to the elaborate silhouette.
2. Craftsmanship
- Marked “Delfts – Hand Painted – Made in Holland”, this piece was produced by a Dutch workshop specialising in traditional Delftware techniques.
- Although not from Royal Delft, the plaque reflects the same heritage of tin-glaze artistry, completed using freehand brushwork rather than transfer-printing.
- The painter’s initials and pattern number indicate small-studio production rather than mass manufacture.
3. Uses & Versatility
- A standout piece in a gallery wall
- Beautiful hung in a kitchen, hallway, or dining room
- Can be paired with blue-and-white ceramics, chinoiserie, or rustic European décor
