This rare plate depicts a Dutch landscape with in the middle a river and fishers on a sampan. The seated figure is surrounded by a larger tree, Western buildings, a gatehouse and a typical fence. The plate is a beautiful example of ‘chine de commande’ in the Qianlong period (1735-1796). We know that a Delft tile is used as an example for the design of the plate. This (or a similar tile) was probably brought to China by the Dutch merchants of the Dutch East Indian Company as a sample for new patterns on plates. Meanwhile in China, the Chinese artisans gave their own interpretation to the sample given. Similar plates with the same kind of setup but with pagodas and a Chinese landscape are very common. The Western ‘chine de commande’ subjects were on the other hand usually made on special order because it was more expensive.
The Dutch Delft tile is nowadays located in Castle Twickel in Delden. The design of the tile is directly made after an engraving (etching) of Esaias van de Velde (1587-1630). The engraving where we can see again the landscape with a river and gatehouse has the inscription ‘Hofstede’ and is made between 1613-1617. Beside its unusual shape, the subject with the information of the origin makes it a special item for collectors.
Condition: Good, one minor restoration to the start of a tiny hairline that can only be seen on the back.
