Description
- English Delft Plate 18th Century Antique 9" Diameter Hand Painted Blue Chinoiserie.
- In the 18th century, Delftware from the Netherlands was a popular imitation of 17th-century Chinese porcelain, featuring Chinese-inspired motifs like gardens and flowers. As the century progressed, the market for Delftware declined due to the return of Chinese porcelain and superior English porcelain and earthenware, but it remained a valuable antique, with some pieces exhibiting a mix of European and Oriental influences.
