One off my long time collected ceramics . Would like to hear your idea's about it's origin and age . Size 35 width and 5 cm height . I think it could be by a Dutch maker from Haarlem from around the 17th century ? :DSo help needed
-
My question is, when did they first start making decorative plates with holes in rim of the base (underside) so that they could be hung on a peg or nail for display?
-
On the Delftware plates starting in the 16th century the holes are already made to hang the plates to show . So early enough for my plate I think :) The photo is a 17th century Dutch plate made in Haarlem

This a few just from the internet

It appears your plate is neither characteristic of Gaudy Welsh or Gaudy Dutch, so I dont have a clue what its origin is.

Cogar,, can you enlarge the last pic ?? Would like to see the numbers ? at the bottom !! Doesn`t seem right for 16th century !!
-
Mart, here it is,
but its distorted and blurry.
But it does look like a "Run #"
-
Here, I enlarged it some more.
And Mart, there are nine (9) digits in that mark or number.
A round circle (like a copyright mark),
a small mark ,,
larger mark
. then 4 marks
. then a dash or minus sign
.. then the last mark.
To wit, like so,

I think this is a written number made later then the plate . Probaly made with a felt tip and a inventory number maybe from the owner ?
