Ons Ideaal Delft Charger Delfts Blauw Plooischotel Molen Windmill 花王 Kaou Pioen Peony Blossoms Fruit Bowl Plate Dish Schaal Gouda *Free S&H

DELFTS BLAUW PLOOISCHOTEL hand painted by ONS IDEAAL Gouda, Netherlands!

Cute! It's my wife's favorite "style" of Delft... dark blauw with the quintessential "molen"/windmill for drainage, farmhouses, sailboats, river and flowers...oops, let's not forget the pesky seagulls! Ha! The plaquette includes all of that and river weeds and trees. The fluted border panels contain alternating patterns of tree peonies vs. "ishidatami" paving stones with cornucopias containing leaves on each side. The cornucopias of this panel and the bottom outside edges of the tree peonies of the other panel illustrate "karakusa" arabesque curlicues :-)

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.

Would make a perfect birthday gift for that special someone or a kewl housewarming gift or a fine addition to your collection! Beautiful whether hanging in your kitchen or displaying curios on your entrance side table/sofa table!

ONS IDEAAL Info -
I don't have much except that they existed from 1941-89 in Lange Groenendaal 62 Gouda. Sad really as their palette was so "delfty" and the final glaze so creamy. They seem to have made utilitarian items from butter crocks to egg cups to plates to huge vases and even bruin pieces! I have a 21" ginger jar that i'm keeping for sure and the rest will be posted here soon :-)

MARK -
- Delfts
- made in Holland
- hand painted
- manufacturer's mark of an "I" superimposed over the "O"
- 23.

SPECS- about 9"D x 1.5"H

CONDITION - EXCELLENT!
- free of hairlines, cracks, chips and flakes
- little to moderate crazing (to be expected on older pieces of Delft due to glaze types)

"Old” delft pieces were only affordable to the successful Dutch Farmers, rich Merchants and the Aristocracy. Even though afforded to those classes, they were expensive and mostly used to display their 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. The 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 the Ming and Wanli/Kraak patterns to supply the continually growing demand. Eventually the 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, they had the kilns 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!
