Bord 1750 - 1780

This 18th-century Delftware plate, created by De Porceleyne Byl, is a fine example of Dutch blue and white earthenware. The scene depicts a rural landscape with figures tending to sheep and a small building. The plate is decorated in the "Bord" style, characterized by its simple, monochrome palette and delicate lines. It is likely part of a larger set of plates depicting the months of the year, with this plate representing June. The plate's design is both decorative and functional, adding a touch of artistry to everyday dining.
