Pair of Antique Blue and White Glazed Porcelain Plaques

Delft is a tin-glazed pottery that has been made since the seventeenth century. Delft was made in England in the eighteenth century. It is decorated with blue on white or with colored decorations. Most of the pieces sold today were made after 1891, and the name Holland usually appears with the Delft factory marks. The word delft appears alone on some twentieth-century pottery from Asia and Germany.

This pair was purchased in France and is marked Holland, along with marks on back. Each plaque has very minor small chips, but they are in very good overall condition. There are two holes at the top of each plaque for easy wall hanging. Each plaque has the classic windmill scene. One shows a mother and child walking along a canal, while the other shows two fishermen in a small wooden boat.
