AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful antique Delft blue plate. In good antique condition. With a atmospheric image of a sailing ship with casks on board and underneath the text "D Rees Delfs Porceleyn vaarder op Amsterd". With slight edge wear and some imperfections in the pottery at the bottom. The front is still very beautiful.
Dirk Rees (1707-1769) was a skipper from Delft who explicitly called himself a 'Delfts Porceleynvaarder' to Amsterdam. He specialized in transporting Delft pottery from Delft to Amsterdam. Rees worked from his birthplace Delft and ensured the supply of Delft pottery to Amsterdam.
The transport provision for the plateelmakers of which he was a part is already mentioned in 1688, while Rees himself was born in 1707 and active until his death in 1769. Historical context: In the 17th and 18th centuries, Delft pottery, as a cheaper alternative to Chinese porcelain, was very popular. The transport by ship to Amsterdam (an important trading center) was essential for sales and export. Dirk Rees died in 1769 in Delft.
