A wonderful antique signed Dutch Royal Delft (De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles) blue and white charger, by the Joost Thooft & Labouchere company, dated to 1895. The De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles delft company is the only factory to have been producing Delft porcelain without interruption since it opened almost 370 years ago. In 1876 Joost Thooft bought the factory with the aim of reviving Dutch Delft which had been flagging in popularity during the 19th century.

The reverse is impressed'Joost Thooft & Labouchier' with the painted De Porceleyne Fles urn above'Delft', date letter'q' for 1895 and artist'AG' for Andreas Petrus Guerain. The charger has wire in place and is ready to hang if desired. The charger measures approximately 15 1/2 inches wide and about 2 inches high.
