AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant Delft tin-glazed majolica dish, made in the Netherlands in the 18th century.

The surface features a lively hand-painted polychrome decoration in cobalt blue, ochre yellow, brown, and green. At the center is a stylized still-life composition with a vase, vegetation, and ornamental motifs, framed by a wide blue border decorated with flowers arranged along the edge.

The painting, slightly irregular and spontaneous, preserves the charm typical of Delft's artisanal production. The back is glazed and without visible marks.

The object presents itself in good overall condition considering its age. Small losses, abrasions, and irregularities along the edge are present, compatible with use and with objects of the period. The photographs are an integral part of the description and show precisely the state of conservation.
