Bord 1750 - 1780

"Bord" is a decorative plate created by De Porceleyne Byl, a Dutch porcelain factory, between 1750 and 1780. Painted in blue and white, the plate depicts a winter scene with figures ice skating and chopping wood, showcasing the activities of the Dutch during the colder months. This piece is a fine example of Delftware, a style of pottery originating in the Dutch city of Delft, known for its blue-and-white designs. This plate serves as a charming representation of Dutch life and culture during the 18th century.
