Early 19th-century Delft Earthenware Wall Plate With Blue-and-white And Polychrome Decoration

Delftware wall earthenware plate with blue, white, and polychrome decoration from the early 19th century

A very beautiful, unique plate with a highly interesting and decorative subject

The central part depicts a Dutch village scene with villagers skating on a lake and using sleds. In the background, several windmills can be seen. The frame is molded and also decorated.
The wall plaque also features a blackened wooden frame.
The plaque stands out for the finesse of its painting and its highly decorative subject matter

Plaques of this type were designed as decorative paintings intended to be hung on the wall. In household inventories of the time, they are often referred to as “porceleine schilderijen” (“porcelain paintings”), reflecting their role as ceramic equivalents of the framed paintings and prints found in interiors.

In superb condition.
