    Description

    DIMENSIONS
    9" wide by 1 1/2" deep
    DESCRIPTION
    Hand painted by the best known and respected factory located in Delft (I have visited this factory). The date code is AW for 1927 (see back of plate). You will also see on the back of the plate the distinctive marking for De Porceleyne Fles. This factory has been in operation from way before the turn of the century, and is still in operation today. The further back you go, the more value these beautiful items have, especially when featuring the scenes with Dutch people, such as this young woman at the seaside. I can imagine she is probably waiting for her husband to come home on one of those ships shown in the distance. Keep in mind, the painters employed by this factory were very skilled artist.
    The scenes depicted on the plates are from paintings by Dutch artists. At the bottom of the plate is the signature, naar (or taken from), and then the name of the original artist. In this case, the artist is ARTZ.
    CONDITION
    It will be hard to find any delft from 1927 that is, in my opinion, in such incredible pristine condition. For example crazing in the finish, which is so common in this age, is all but non-existent. I can find NO CHIPS, CRACKS, OR SCRATCHES. This one is a winner!
    Finally, this plate is a wall hanger, and the two holes on the back (for the wire you will see photographed) are often subject to cracks. NOT the case with this fine plate.
