Delft charger

See photos of this charger or deep dish that I have just got. It is 14 ins across and 2 ins high. Damaged as photos. I assume Delft, but where and what date. I can tell it's at least early 18th cent, but could be a lot earlier. Do you think those are strange faces? What is that cut line under base. Note the 2 places where it stood on the kiln, but can't find a 3rd. Best, Paul Harrison

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. Read more
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more

This is surely a nice 18th century, what we call, charger. There is no set definition for the term charger, plate or dish. The third spur mark should be in the area of the broken out section. The cut in the foot rim is from the hook they would us to pull the dish through the glazing tub.

Thanks, but where was it made. UK or perhaps Holland. This is the most important part, Paul.
