ABOUT THIS ITEM
Delft polychrome charger decorated with a parrot perched on a ring among stylized flowers and foliage, the rim with a distinctive yellow zigzag border.
Polychrome Delftware of the 18th century reflects the Dutch adaptation of Chinese and Asian decorative motifs, integrating exotic birds, flowers, and stylized foliage into domestic tableware. Plates with a parrot motif were particularly popular in the mid-18th century, combining ornamental and display functions. Sets like this one illustrate the continued influence of Chinese porcelain and chinoiserie trends on Dutch Delftware, produced for both domestic use and the European export market.
Good condition: regular chipping and some usual wear to the rim.
Diameter: 30 centimeters
