Dish 1695 - 1720

This small, cobalt-blue dish, created by De Paauw between 1695 and 1720, is a fine example of Delftware, a type of tin-glazed earthenware produced in Delft, Netherlands, known for its blue and white decoration. The intricate floral design, characteristic of Delftware, stands out against the deep blue background. Now a part of the Rijksmuseum collection, this dish reflects the popularity of Delftware during the 17th and 18th centuries for its decorative qualities and practical use.
