No. 10 c. 1780

This blue and white porcelain plate, titled "No. 10, 4 yoppakke der Haring," was made in the Netherlands circa 1780 by the Porceleyne Bijl factory. The plate depicts a scene of herring fishing, with two men filling barrels with herring from a boat. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and water, and the inscription "No. 10, 4 yoppakke der Haring" identifies the plate as part of a series. The plate's delicate blue and white colors, detailed scenes, and use of a decorative script are characteristic of Dutch Delftware, which flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries.
