Description
Morning Ablutions appears in burgundy transfer on this octagonal plate from the marked Old Masters Series.
The reverse identifies the Delft Holland Special Limited Collector’s Edition Old Masters Series and names Morning Ablutions as the subject. The domestic scene sits within a decorative floral border, while the octagonal outline distinguishes the plate from a standard round format. The backstamp names Delft Holland and the series, but it does not identify the ceramic factory. This description follows the visible mark without attributing the plate to an undocumented producer. The item belongs with The Lace Maker and The Flute Player, which carry related Old Masters Series wording. No more specific date is stated on the plate, and its subject is recorded as named in the series rather than assigned additional provenance.
