Holland, Fayence- en Tegelfabriek - J.W. Mijnlieff - Wall plate - wandbord - Earthenware

A rare and handsome glossy glaze-plate style wall plaque with a decoration of irises made at the well-known Fayence en Tegelfabriek Holland Mijnlieff in Utrecht. J Mijnlieff started this factory in 1895 and it existed until 1905. The factory was known for the top quality of its painting. Painters such as J Mijnlieff himself and Jan Karel Leurs, Jan Carel Heytze, who also worked at Rozenburg, were employed there. This plate has some light fritting around the edge from firing, but this is by no means distracting. The diameter is 32 cm and the plate is signed on the underside.
