    I believe this is a modern Dutch or Spanish geometric delft faience majolica polychrome tin-glazed pottery charger. Even if I got that much right, I'd love to know more about the designs. It is just under 10 in across and diameter, about a quarter inch thick, and weighs about 1.25 lbs. Thanks in advance for any feedback. s-l1600 (1).jpg s-l1600 (3).jpg s-l1600 (4).jpg s-l1600 (5).jpg

    Seems small to be a charger...and possibly Polish...need to see the back and size.

    Not a charger. More likely a shallow salad plate.

    Except for the concentric circles I don't see much 'geometric' about it.

    The center star and triangular shapes wedged in between?

    Dimensions are on original post. The terracotta ring is bisque, BTW.

    Your center 'star' looks like a flower. Triangles have straight line sides.

    There was a studio in the Netherlands that made similar work, but they signed theirs on the back. Can't remember the name, but without a siggy it is unlikely to be by them.

    A charger plate's purpose is to catch pieces of food to prevent them from dropping onto a tablecloth or to protect surfaces from heated dishes. Think larger than the dinnerware above.

    With red earthenware body like that I very much doubt this is Dutch.

    Many potters started at De Olde Kruyk and went on to set up their own studios, it could be by one of them.

    All well and good, I've had Ravelli and Pieter Groenenveldt pieces etc with red clay, albeit not the soft stuff like this but a harder more high-fired type ...I guess what I'm suggesting is that the De Olde Kruyk stuff of the productions above isn't red earthenware but more typically buff-coloured "Delft-style" clay. Of course very few if any Dutch potties would leave such a thing unmarked ..

    The design also seems a bit busy and a little too close to bordering on the "moresque" to my eye - even though the DOK productions are 20thc, they still retain a somewhat Dutch sensibility, which, IMHO, this plate does not. :)
