Royal Delft Hand-Painted Dish Set

Here you see a set of dishes with a long history in Delft Blue. Around 1700 the bowls of this Delft Blue set were intended for presenting candied fruit. Making candied fruit as such was a pastime for well-to-do ladies and princesses. The inventories of Royal princesses mention tens to hundreds of candied fruit dishes in Delft Blue earthenware in many shapes.
