AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
2 Antique 18th-century Delft ceramic plates
A. A blue-and-white painted ceramic plate shows a central mand motif filled with flowers in an Oriental style, surrounded by geometric and floral panels at the edge.
This type of decoration is inspired by traditional Chinese export porcelain from the late Ming- or early Qing-period (such as the Wanli- or Kangxi-style), but from the 17th and 18th centuries it was widely copied on a large scale by European, particularly Delftware pottery factories.
B. This 18th-century Delft blue plate is characterized by a traditional hand-painted cobalt-blue decoration with a central flower basket and stylized floral motifs on the edge.
Characteristics of this type of Delftware:
Central motif: A basket filled with flowers (jardinière or flower basket), inspired by early 18th-century Asian and European designs.
Painting: Handmade in underglaze cobalt blue with characteristic artisanal nuances.
Edge decoration: Stylized leaf- and flower-elements divided into symmetrical segments.
Both plates are inscribed with initials on the back.
For a good overall impression, see the attached photos.
