Plate 1700 - 1715

This 18th-century Delftware plate, created by Dutch artist Adriaen Kocks, is a stunning example of blue and white tin-glazed earthenware, often referred to as Delftware. The plate is decorated with a central medallion of flowers and foliage, framed by a lattice pattern and repeating floral motifs. The use of cobalt blue paint and a distinct radial design on the plate are characteristic of Delftware and are a testament to the enduring popularity of this decorative style. Kocks, a highly respected potter of his time, made this plate during a period of significant artistic flourishing in Delft, making this piece a valuable contribution to the history of ceramic art.
