A large Dutch Delftware plaque, circa 1740-60
The shaped oval cartouche with four medallions depicting two men standing beside a large balluster vase, leaning over a table set with teawares and a pipe, in conversation with two seated ladies, alternated by two oval medallions of oriental flowers against a floral scrollwork border, the central medallion with a chinoiserie scene after a Chinese Kangxi example of two long Eliza figures near a small boy, one holding a rabbit, a man looking out at them from a window, 43cm h (typical minimal chips to the rim)
Footnotes
For the identical scene on a Delft plaque in the Musée Art et Histoire Bruxelles (formerly the Musée du Cinquantenaire) see F. Hudig, Delfter Fayence (1929), plate 205, p.213.
