  • Sobre la obra de arte
    A colorful grand feu oval shaped Delft chinoiserie plaque with a Long Eliza, crawl and peony flower decoration, 18th century, around 1760, Delft, Holland.

    Dimensions: 35x31 cm.
    Probably attributable to the pottery factory 'The White Star / De Witte Ster'.

    The word "plaque" has its roots in Latin. It is derived from the Latin word "placa," meaning a flat, thin plate or slab. Antique plaques were especially made for decorative proposes. This particular plaque has a very unusual shape because the oval form has sharp ends looking like accolades. In this shape we can see the influence of the Rococo style. This style can be recognized by asymmetry and curved lines and had its main impact on interior decoration and applied art in Europe between 1730 and 1760.

    The decoration is inspired by the Chinese Qianlong porcelain (1735-1796). The Long Eliza, crawl and peony flower are located in a typical Chinese fenced garden with rocks. In the second half of the 18th century these decorations became popular for especially the design of plaques. This can be explained by the influence of the Rococo style which typically displays lighthearted and elegant scenes.
    The object has a striking color scheme. We can mainly see the red, yellow and deep blue but also a soft green, manganese (purple) and lighter blue. The use of this color scheme indicates a great craftmanship because of the time-consuming baking processes that was necessary to realize the result.

    This plaque can probably be attributed to the pottery factory 'The White Star / De Witte Ster'. A similar decorated example has been auctioned in 2018, with the mark of this factory on her back (which is also a star)

    Condition: good condition, minimal damage to the edge which is usual for Delft pottery. No defects or restorations.

    Reference: A similar example but with another border is in the collection of Musée Ariana, Ville de Genève (inventory number; AR 2007-146-2). This work features on the cover of the book (and exhibition) of Anne-Claire Schumacher “La donation Clare van Beusekom-Hamburger, Faïences et porcelaines des XVIe-XVIIIe siècles” 2010.
