    Description

    DIMENSIONS
    9" wide by 1 1/2" deep
    DESCRIPTION
    Hand painted by the best known and respected factory located in Delft (I have visited this factory). The date code is BU for 1950 (see back of plate). You will also see on the back of the plate the distinctive marking for De Porceleyne Fles. This factory has been in operation from way before the turn of the century, and is still in operation today. The further back you go, the more value these beautiful items have, especially when featuring the scenes with Dutch people, such as this old fisherman looking out to sea. Keep in mind, the painters employed by this factory were very skilled artists.
    The scenes depicted on the plates are from paintings by Dutch artists. At the bottom of the plate is the signature, naar (or taken from), and then the name of the original artist.
    CONDITION
    This plate has minor crazing in the finish, much less than typical of this age. I can find NO CHIPS, CRACKS, OR SCRATCHES.
    Finally, this plate is a wall hanger, and the two holes on the back (for the wire you will see photographed) are often subject to cracks. NOT the case with this fine plate.
