Ronde schotel before 1883

"Ronde schotel" is a pewter dish, created by Dutch artist Jan Francis Schutjes before 1883. The simple, circular form of the dish, with its wide, slightly raised rim, is typical of utilitarian pewterware. The matte surface and the subtle wear and tear on the metal speak to the object's long history of use. Schutjes, a Dutch artist born in 1806, was renowned for his craftsmanship in pewter, creating a range of functional objects that would have been essential to daily life in the 19th century. The dish, measuring 34.0 cm in diameter and 8.0 cm in height, is a testament to the enduring beauty of simple, handcrafted objects.
