Delft, Blue and White Dragon Dish Mark AIK, Period J van der Kool '1722-1757'

About the Item

Blue and white dragon dish. Delft, 1722-1757 The Greek A pottery Mark: AIK, period J van der Kool (1722-1757) Dish with blue and white decoration of a dragon on a dense ground of flowers and foliage. The well is undecorated. The border is painted with six cartouches, each filled with three peaches each and separated from one another by trellis-work. Judging from a large number of surviving pieces, this decoration must have enjoyed considerable popularity in the eighteenth century. It is used on teapots, salts, vases, pots, bowls, tea caddies, beer jugs, spittoons, oil and vinegar sets, puzzle jugs and even egg cups. Customers could perhaps put together a service themselves by combining different shapes with this decoration. The border with cartouches and trellis-work is copied directly from Chinese porcelain plates and bowls of the Kangxi period (1662-1722). However, the centre decoration has no direct parallel from the Kangxi period. Dragons or other animals on a dense ground of flowers and foliage were painted on Chinese porcelain as early as the sixteenth century, and such a decoration probably served as a model for this Delft design. The dragon decoration was most likely developed at The Greek A pottery. The earliest pieces known are two pots and a vase with the AK mark for Adriaen Kocxs (1686-1701). They are in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Dimensions: diameter 34.5 cm / 13.38 in. Condition: is very good considering its age of 280 years. Usual small rim chips. I carefully package all items in a double-box and use first-class packaging material.

  • 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...
