Plate 1718 - 1735

This 18th-century plate, produced by the Grieksche A Factory, is a prime example of Dutch Delftware. The factory, known for its decorative ceramics, produced this piece between 1718 and 1735. The plate features a central scene depicting a procession of figures, likely inspired by Chinese imagery, painted in vibrant colors on a white tin-glazed background. This style, known as Chinoiserie, was popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, reflecting a fascination with East Asian art and culture. The intricate border of the plate enhances its visual appeal, showcasing the factory's skilled craftsmanship. Today, this piece is part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
