Delft Blue Plate (Royal Delft – Porceleyne Fles)

This Delft Blue plate was manufactured in 1972 at the Porceleyne Fles in Delft. The plate is hand-painted: floral motifs are depicted on the rim and in the center is a fruit basket with flowers. On the back 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 MVK, the year code CR (1972) and the model number 218.

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.
