This lovely pair of Delft chargers were hand-painted at “The Claw”*in Delft, the Netherlands, circa 1800.
They feature a beautiful garden scene with leaves and flowers against a bright white sky.
The border of the chargers has five panels, each with a single tulip bud and scrolling vines.
Deep blue panels separate the decorated panels.
The painting is crisp, and the cobalt blue shows beautifully on the tin-glazed white ground.
The yellow painted edge enhances the overall blue coloring.
Each charger has the underglaze blue mark of “The Claw.”
Dimensions: 13.75″ diameter
Condition: Excellent with small edge chips in the yellow edge invisibly restored
Price: $2,260
Background of “The Claw”: De Klaauw was started by Cornelia Schoonhoven and Cornelis Cornelisz. van der Houve in 1661.
The factory was successful, and in 1763, Lambertus Sanderus purchased it.
One year after Lambertus Sanderus bought the factory, the city council of Delft instructed every potter to register their trademark. This was made to avoid unfair competition.
The mark of Sanderus consisted of a stylized claw.
The factory continued production until 1840.
