Wall plate - Delftware - Mythological Marine Scene

NO RESERVE

Large Dutch Delft blue and white tin-glazed earthenware charger, probably 18th century. Hand-painted in cobalt blue with a mythological marine scene depicting a triton carrying a winged female figure above stylized waves, enclosed within a decorative cartouche and surrounded by a deep cobalt border.

The plate displays the characteristic features associated with antique Delftware, including a tin-glazed surface, visible age-related craquelure, and minor fritting to the rim revealing the buff-colored earthenware body beneath. The reverse bears a painted mark reading "I.D.M."

A decorative and visually striking example of Dutch Delft pottery, combining classical mythology with traditional maritime imagery. Diameter approximately 34 cm.
