Label copy

This delftware plate, one from a set of twelve, is made of tin-glazed earthenware decorated with cobalt blue. It depicts a typical Dutch fishing ship, or haringbuis, which caught and processed fish at sea. Grain, fish, and ceramics formed the economic backbone of the northern Netherlands in the 1600s. Developed to copy Chinese porcelain, Delft’s earthenware industry declined in the late 1700s, when the herring market also collapsed.
