DELFT POLYCHROME PLATE "marked" DE PAAUW! (The Peacock)

WOW! The contrasts are stunning!

The Chinois Wucai inspired pattern features a central medallion with a Peacock, surrounded by primitive Chrysanthemums. The peacock is perched on I believe a Taihu Stone. The nine panels feature floral motifs and probably misinterpreted good fortune "silk purses" with ribbons. From these purses to taihu stones, flatteringly copied by early Delft painters, misinterpreted as no reference as to what they were coping, ha! The taihu stones of eroded limestone, used in Asian gardens. The wucai colors are all featured from the blue outlines to the blue, yellow, red and green. Pic 4 is a large ginger jar that has a matching border pattern and would go well together. (links below)

This plate is "tactile." The ochre enamels are over-glaze.

PLOOISCHOTEL - a scalloped form of a plate/bowl appeared around the mid-1600's, usually displaying fruit. Another name from that period was fryutschaal. The aristocracy and rich merchants/farmers used these and especially Delft Chargers as another display of their wealth.

DE DELFTSE PAUW info > 1650
"Formerly the brewery, De Pauw, located at the place where the Delft Peacock is now. This brewery bore the surname of the owner. In the seventeenth century, the textile industry on which the water supply of the breweries were polluted. Therefore many breweries went bankrupt. Similarly brewery, De Pauw. Since there are already furnaces and warehouses were present, this was a convenient place to establish a porcelain factory. There was a good water supply site, it was necessary for the clay. The name changed in the Delft peacock. This is derived from Delft blue.
All the objects 'De Pauw Delft' will have a white background. Therefore, use is made of white baked clay. This clay is imported from Germany and England, because no local white when it is baked, but red and yellow.
"The Delftse Pauw 'sells objects made in our own factory. There are, among other wall plates, tiles, vases, boxes, small items, candlesticks, birth signs and tiles sold. There is also a Christmas collection and there are several exclusive items.
The small souvenirs, such as nuggets and keychains sold the best. Most tourists take after visiting the plant a little something to take home.
The large vase with the peacock on it, the star of the collection. This vase costs about € 4,000. The painting of this vase is very time and effort."

Delft Chargers were highly sought after display pieces as an alternative to framed oil paintings. Royalty, nobility, wealthy merchants and even rich farmers acquired these examples of hand painted art! Many of the depicted themes were actually copies of popular (now famous) original oil paintings of the Dutch artists and masters. The other themes primarily were Chinois patterns copied from the Ming imports. When rich farmers held a large celebration, they would clear out the barn and then hang Delft Chargers either on the horse stalls or the walls of the barn as part of the party decor for the rustic party venue!

“Old Delft” were expensive and used to flaunt their owner's status and wealth by displaying in their formal dining rooms and other public rooms of their estates. These Delft pieces were exported all over the Western world including the New World as found in Williamsburg and other colonial towns in both North and South America. Delft manufacturers were threatened by Chinese imports, but when China went through their times of troubles and the kilns destroyed and potters killed, the Delft makers capitalized on the sudden rarity of Chinese exports and imitated Ming and Wanli/Kraak patterns to supply the continually growing demand. Eventually Delft potters began using their own patterns and incorporating what has become “iconic” themes of Dutch Windmills, Canals, Nautical and Biblical renditions. When the Chinese Imperial government stabilized, kilns were rebuilt, but found they had lost most of their market share. To regain that share, they began copying the Dutch designs. The humor in all this, is that many of the Dutch designs were copies of Chinese patterns! With all these cross-copying of patterns, meaning was lost and “fanciful” unreal patterns resulted!

Just wanted to take the opportunity to share this regarding WWII and the people of Holland in regards to the people of the US >

Near Maastricht, in Margraten, is the Netherlands American Cemetery. It is the only American military cemetery in Holland and where 8,301 of our soldiers rest eternal. There are Tablets of the Missing that contain 1,722 names. It's a beautiful and fitting resting place. I mention this because, we visited in 2010 and it was early May just after Koninginnedag (Queen's Birthday) as we were meeting a Dutch aunt who's married to a German citizen and they live in Germany and Maastricht is the halfway point from where we were staying. We were surprised and amazed at the thousands of visitors and the fresh flowers on EVERY GRAVE! It turns out, that ever since the cemetery was first created, every US Soldier's grave had been adopted by a nearby local family (also Belgian and German families across the border) and is visited several times a year and flowers laid and the soldier honored and remembered on certain holidays! It brought us to tears that after all this time, that the Dutch continue to honor and remember our soldier's ultimate sacrifice in helping to liberate their country! Thank you to the anonymous Dutch, Belgian, and German families who remember and honor our fallen!

I'm not an expert on Porcelain. The information above is based on my research as a collector. It's time to downsize and find an appreciative home for this exquisite piece!
