DescriptionThis dish features boldly painted decoration with an abstract, geometric character. Its color palette is also different. Whereas blue, yellow, and green are frequently seen on other early delft objects, this dish’s color combination of cobalt blue, manganese purple, and burnt orange from iron or antimony is strikingly different. Thrown on a wheel over a so-called hump mold, the dish is finely potted with a carefully shaped everted edge.
