Description
The sausage-maker at work gives this De Worstmaker plate a lively subject within a traditional floral frame.
This small blue and white ceramic plate depicts a traditional sausage-making workshop scene, surrounded by a floral border. The front is titled DE WORSTMAKER, naming the Dutch trade shown. On the reverse, the crowned Oude Molen Fabriek B.V. crest appears with Delft and Holland inscriptions, identifying the marked maker and the stated origin. The plate measures 1 cm high and 11.5 cm wide, a compact format that suits a cabinet, shelf or plate stand and lets the workshop scene remain the focus. The contrast between the named trade and the decorative border makes this example distinct from a purely floral design. No production date is confirmed by the available marks. Its recorded condition is excellent, with no chips or cracks noted.
