• About the artwork
  Dutch Delft Lobbed dish with in the center oriental figures surrounded by palm trees, 17th century, around 1670-1680, Delft, Holland.
  Blue and white
  
  Dimensions: 33 cm. diameter.
  
  With eight framed panels and a rare center decoration this Dutch Delft lobbed dish from the second half of the 17th century is a true beautiful piece. The blue is very vivid and the paintings are done very carefully. In the center there are two figures surrounded by palm or pine trees. The lobbes have flower patterns or oriental figures as well depicted.
  In the second half of the 17th century, many Dutch dishes were painted with Chinese motifs, usually consisting of a landscape with Chinese figures. Lobbed dishes were made mostly in 6,8 or 9 lobes or even with much more smaller lobes such as between 25 to 30 parts looking like fluted mouldings. The dishes can have for example double circles, a curved centre or be twisted lobbed derived from silver specimens that is quite rare.
