Description:
Irish delft circular plate with blue decoration. The plate is covered with an edge-to-edge decoration of a large chinoiserie landscape scene of rocks, trees, house, mountains, and fences, and a smaller scene of rocks, trees, and fence, with four flying birds over the two scenes. Paper label pasted on the underside of the plate is inscribed in ink, and reads: " Vineyard 1945/Family of Foster or Case/ about 1700" and a paper label with "205" or "502" According to the research of Peter Francis, this plate is an example of a coarsely painted Irish delftware from Dublin, Ireland, c. 1760-1770. Other examples of this so-called "Sugar Loaf Mountain" pattern are painted on the reverse with the numbers, 2, 13, 8, 5, 14, and 9. Irish delftware was often painted with decorators' numbers.
