English Delft – Blue and white plate – 18th century

A beautiful English Delftware plate, hand-painted in rich cobalt blue, featuring a Chinoiserie-inspired landscape with a floral border. I cannot help thinking that I am seeing the tail of a deer or other animal hiding behind the rocks, which is one of the reasons I like this plate so much personally.

Very good condition: usual wear and some chipping to the rim
