Item Description

Three beautiful Delft chargers in porcelain: The first from Belgium is by Royal Boch and dates from the 1960's. The second, measuring 16" in diameter, is from by Regout in Holland and dates to the 1940's-1950's. The third by Chemfka is also from Holland and was made in the 1960's.

Delft is a tin-glazed pottery that has been made since the seventeenth century in Holland. Delft was made in England in the eighteenth century. It is decorated with blue on white or with colored decorations. Real delft is a soft, easily chipped pottery. Twenty-first century so-called delft is often porcelain. Most of the pieces sold today were made after 1891, and the name Holland usually appears with the Delft factory marks.
