House of Orange, Netherlands, De Porceleyne Fles

A different kind of Delft, a WHITE CHARGER hand-painted by the most famous of all Delft manufacturers, DE PORCELEYNE FLES!

This commemorative charger celebrates the reign of Wilhelmina as Queen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands from 1890 to 1948. Her reign lasted nearly 58 years, making her the longest-reigning Dutch monarch. Her time on the throne saw World War I, World War II, the economic crisis of 1933, and the decline of the Netherlands as a major colonial power. She is particularly remembered internationally for her role during World War II and her inspiration to the Dutch resistance.

Plooischotel dishes were typically used for display or as fruit bowls.

Condition: As per photos, with one chip on the bottom edge and age-related crazing. Despite these imperfections, it would still display beautifully on a wall, ready to hang.
