Schotel, beschilderd met bloemen c. 1880

This Dutch Delftware saucer, produced around 1880 by the workshop De Porceleijne Fles, is a prime example of traditional blue and white floral patterns. The saucer showcases a delicate design of stylized floral sprigs and blossoms encircling the central well, framed by a geometric border. The subtle blue hues and intricate detail of the painted decorations are hallmarks of Dutch Delftware craftsmanship. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the enduring appeal and artistic value of this decorative art form.
