Delft Blue Cake Plates (Royal Delft – Porceleyne Fles)

These 6 Delft blue cake plates were manufactured at the Porceleyne Fles in Delft. They are hand painted: floral and geometric motifs are depicted.  On the reverse is the mark of De Porceleyne Fles: an apothecary jar with the initials JT intertwined underneath (these stand for Joost Thooft, owner of the company in 1876). Below the bottle is the word ‘Delft’ with a curly capital letter D. On the left are the painter’s initials, the model number in the middle and on the right the year code. These cake plates have different year codes: they were made between 1930 and 1932.

Interior advice
This Delft Blue plate fits both a classic and a modern interior. For example, you can place it on a TV cabinet or in a bookcase. In addition, this plate can also be hung on the wall since there is an iron wire present at the back.
