Description from the seller
A Delft polychrome plate, signed by Zacharias Dextra, owner of the Delft earthenware workshop 'De Drie posteleyne Astonne' during 1721-1757. The plate has a diameter of 23 cm and a depth of 2 cm.
The beautiful decoration is derived from Oriental porcelain. We see centrally a pentagonal panel with rounded corners. In the center a symmetrically arranged flower basket in the colors red, orange, manganese, green and blue, and around it five radiating panels with an accolade-shaped upper edge. The flower baskets within are a-symmetric, cut, and placed at the lower left, which gives a dynamic effect. On the outside between the panels are red-colored leaf motifs. The interspaces are filled light blue with dark blue curling lines and edges.
On the back there is no stand ring, the underglaze is the signature D/10 and 6 four-point figures. Visible are 6 (!) points of the glaze pins, probably from multiple passes in the oven. Underglaze marked in blue with D/10
The plate is not restored or cracked. However there are glaze chips at the rim, of varying sizes, see also the photos, and a small bite out of the ceramic. The decoration still presents itself beautifully.
There is a similar plate in Museum Arnhem code AB 8665b
