Vraag

Hello! I recently acquired this piece and wondered whether you believed it to be of Dutch or English origin?

This plate is most likely an 18th-century Delft Blue earthenware plate.

The reverse shows a porous, uneven surface with small holes (so-called "stilt marks"), which is typical of tin-glazed pottery such as Delft Blue.

The octagonal shape and the blue floral painting correspond to 18th-century Delft Blue.

Your plate is Dutch, 1660-1680. These wares were NOT only made in Delft but blue and white wares were made also in Haarlem, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Middelburg etc etc. Nice plate! Regards, E.

Hello Lee, No, Unfortunately it is not possible to say in which town these plates were made. A said in many places these full tin-glaze products were made in The Netherlands. The date I gave you is pretty accurate: 1660-1680. With kind regards, Edwin van Drecht.
