Delft Charger Hand Painted Polychrome Lambeth, London, England, circa 1750
About the Item
This exquisite delft charger offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural history of mid-18th century London.
It was carefully crafted by hand at the High Street Lambeth factory, founded by Henry Hodgson Jr in 1732 within the historic Hereford House. The building had once served as the London residence of the Bishops of Hereford, adding an extra layer of historical resonance to this charger.
Dating back over 250 years to circa 1750, the charger depicts a garden scene with a unique design. The colorful palette features hues of purple, yellow, medium blue, green, and orange under a light blue glaze creating a harmonious effect. At the center, a blue lozenge-shaped hollow rock is shown sprouting flowers and leaves, with five mountains sketched into the background, adding depth and complexity to the image.
The rim of the charger is adorned with four groups of flowers, each centered on a yellow sunflower, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the overall design.
Dimensions:13.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in height,
Condition: Excellent with tiny edge frits invisibly restored to preserve its beauty.
Price: $830
