Antique Royal Delft Wall Plate with Mill and Ships (1924)

This antique wall plate, produced by Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles), depicts a more dynamic Dutch river or polder landscape, combining a windmill with sailing ships on the water. The image exudes movement and depth, with refined brushwork and subtle tonal variations in the blue.

The hand-painted rim decoration frames the scene in a classic Delft style. The glaze shows slight crackle, consistent with the age and production process of this period. The original handwritten inscriptions and the wire hanging system are present on the back, confirming that the plate was designed as a wall piece.

A characterful piece that looks great both individually and in combination with other Delft wall plates, and will appeal to collectors of historic Dutch porcelain.
