Signed handpained polychrome Dutch Delft plaque in the form of a canary in a cage. Made Holland 19th century.

Height: 10 inches. Width: 10 inches.

Ceramic plaque in the form of a birdcage. Cleverly painted to make 2 dimentions look like 3. A polychrome coloured birdcage with scrolling rococco decoration and a faux drawer pull. Colours are blue, green, yellow and red. Yellow and red flowers. Yellow and brown / aubergine coloured canary singing as it swings on a perch. Outside rim of the plaque is painted the same brown/aubergine colour.

Small holes (original to the manufacture) in the top of the plaque so that it can be hung on the wall. Tremendous aesthetic appeal.
Blue underglaze signature on the back.

Condition is very good with a few small spots of glaze loss on the outside rim that do not impact the plaque.
