Description
A full floral centre and matching border make this marked Distel plate a strong blue and white display piece.
The 21 cm ceramic wall plate is decorated with a large central flower and a border of flowers and leaves. Two holes on the reverse allow it to be hung. Its backstamp includes a thistle emblem and the wording BLAUW DELFTS, Distel, HANDPAINTED and MADE IN HOLLAND. These marks identify the Distel name and state Holland as the origin; they do not provide a precise production date. The decoration fills the face with a continuous floral composition, so the centre and edge read together rather than as separate motifs. The blue and white palette connects it to Dutch hand-painted pottery traditions, while the base provides the firmer attribution evidence. It is recorded in excellent condition with no chips or cracks noted. The floral centre, matching border and Distel stamp identify this Blauw Delfts wall plate. Related pieces include Handpainted Delfts Blue Windmills Wall Plate and Delfts Blue-and-White Handpainted and Signed Bird and Floral Wall Plate. Further collector context appears in the Journal’s How to Style Blue and White Porcelain in a Modern Home.
