Schotel van faïence 1728

This Delftware plate, crafted by Johannes Verhagen in 1728, is a fine example of Dutch decorative arts. The blue and white tin-glazed earthenware features a detailed scene of a bustling market or fair, likely set in the Netherlands. The central image is framed by a decorative border of stylized floral motifs, characteristic of Delftware designs. This plate exemplifies the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the Dutch faience tradition, which flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries.
