Description:
Dutch delft dish with blue decoration. The dish has an overall floral motif, with the well decorated with a central flower surrounded by three similar floral sprays, petals, and sprigs, encircled by a blue band. The curvature and rim are covered by six cartouche-like areas with scroll and floral decoration. The under-rim has eight groups of four dots each evenly spaced around the dish. The dish seems to have "kwaart", an additional layer of translucent lead glaze, typical of finer quality Dutch work; and "trek", an outline of the design filled in later. The donors, the French's, noted that the dish came from the Dana family of Lebanon, NH or the Gillette family of Hartford, VT from Lebanon, Conn.
