WOW!

A pastoral autumn tableau of a well to do Dutch Farm. Elements include the farmhouse, a small shed and a large structure in the back right taller than the farmhouse. This structure had me stumped on a few other pieces I own. Once I saw a better rendition, I was able to research and found it's a Barrack. Also known as Hooiberg or Schuurberg (storeroom under the Hooiberg). It's a structure to shelter hay from the elements. The thatched roof can be raised or lowered as needed. When the Dutch colonized New York, they brought this farm structure with them. Kewl! I've since acquired a few oil paintings where the barracks features prominently, ha!

There are 2 pollarded trees on the far right.

I love the array of farm animals of cows, sheep, pigs and dogs free ranging!

Though not marked, its detailed form and border faux marble decor is identical to several plaques I've seen auctioned as Makkum Tichelaar from the late 1800's.

There are other details, but I'll leave the new owner to enjoy the discovery!

MAKKUM TICHELAAR Info > 1594 to present

Makkum Tichelaar is considered the oldest surviving "Delft" manufacturer dating from 1594. (not to be confused with a similar claim of the oldest Delft manufacturer in Delft, de Porceleyne Fles) (both claims are true) Their pieces are hand-painted to this day! Pieces go for thousands of Euros! I had an opportunity to visit the town of Makkum, but since it was Koninginnedag (Queen's Birthday), the factory was closed but I was able to visit a corner shop that had hundreds and hundreds of older pieces! It was pure nirvana for an addicted Delft collector!

On 1 November 2014 they stopped producing stock for their permanent collection of consumer products.
As from 1 January 2015 they have put together a collection of their traditional earthenware that is available only through their webshop. These products are produced in batches. This means that orders are grouped and in principle are produced only once every quarter.

"The difference between Makkum Tichelaar's wares and other Delftware, is that they paint on the tin glaze and then refire. This leads to a little of bleeding, like Flow Blue wares. Delftware is painted on the bisque, so their wares are a little more sharper and more pronounced.

The blue painting with cobalt oxide gets, because of the fusion with the underlying glaze, a brilliance that has been impossible to make with later decoration techniques.

The decorative pottery is created with love and each piece is entirely handpainted. No print or stamp techniques thereby helps the painter."

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 mostly 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!
