Description:
English delft circular plate in Fazackerly colors of blue, purple, green, yellow, and orange-red. The well is decorated with a chinoiserie garden scene with two center purple flowers on a long stem with leaves, which are growing behind a two-part lattice fence; and blue, orange-red, and two yellow flowers on the sides extending into the rim, and a purple flower in the foreground on the rim. A hand-written card came with the plate that stated: "Very old Delft Plate / coloured flowers. / This may have belonged to / Mary Wileenson / of Waerdon, Holland / wife of / Lieutenant Lion Gardiner / who with him came to America / 1636. / The plate certainly belonged to/ their great-great granddaughter / Sarah Chandler / (Madame Timothy Paine) / from whom it descended to / her great-great-granddaughter / Mary Louisa Trumbull Cogswel l/ (Mrs. Edwin Melville Roberts). Written in the tercentenary year / of its supposed age / 1936."
