Chinoiserie Lobed Dish in Blue, Yellow and Purple, Delft, 1680-1690

About the Item

Chinoiserie lobed dish in blue, yellow and purple. Delft, 1680-1690 Dimensions: diameter 34 cm / 13.58 in. The lobed dish is composed of nine, wide lobes around a nine-fold centre and is painted in blue and yellow with a chinoiserie decor. A seated Chinese figure in an oriental landscape is depicted in the centre, framed within lines and a white band. The border is decorated with a continuous landscape with four additional Chinese figures. The outline of the decor is painted in purple and then filled in with blue and yellow. A lobed dish of the same shape and design in only blue and yellow is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in Massachusetts (2006.1131). In the second half of the seventeenth century many lobed dishes were painted with Chinese motifs, mostly of landscapes with Chinese figures. The decoration is inspired by Chinese porcelain from the period of the last Ming emperor Chongzhen (1628-1644). Two- or multi-coloured variations of this decor are relatively rare. Condition: excellent considering age, with nice shiny glaze. There are some small glaze chips to the rim. The dish also has some clay glaze flaws created during production.

  • Polychrome Chinoiserie Lobed Dish Delft, 1680-1690
    By Dutch Originals
    Located in ROSSUM, GE
    Polychrome chinoiserie lobed dish. Delft, 1680-1690 The lobed dish is composed of nine wide lobes around a nine-fold centre and is painted with a chinoiserie decor in purple, yellow and green. Two Chinese figures in an eastern landscape are depicted in the centre, one of them carries a banner. The landscape is framed within lines and a white band. The border is decorated with a continuous landscape with two reclining and two standing Chinese figures. A lobed dish of the same shape and design in purple, blue and green is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts holds a variant in blue and yellow. In the same museum are three lobed dishes, each with twenty-seven double lobes with chinoiserie landscapes in the same colour scheme of purple, yellow and green. In the second half of the seventeenth century many lobed dishes were painted with Chinese motifs, mostly landscapes with Chinese figures. The vast majority are in blue. Two- or multi-coloured chinoiserie decorations were very fashionable during a short period of time, predominantly in the 1680s. In addition to lobed dishes, they also appear on wine jugs, beer mugs, butter pots, covered spiced-wine bowls and dishes. Some of this Delftware is still wrongly attributed to a factory in the German town of Frankfurt, and sometimes it is even considered to be English. An excavated chinoiserie butter pot in purple, green and yellow, found in a cesspit in the grounds of the Porcelain Bottle factory, proves otherwise. A beer mug with the portrait of the Dutch prince Willem III...
