Dutch Majolica plate with a decoration of an Amor or Cupid.
The dish is decorated with a striding Amor with a sash around his waist and a spear in both hands, placed on a ground with vegetation. The rim is decorated with a band of double blue and yellow dots. This type of Dutch majolica is inspired by the style of the Italian ”compendiario” majolica and faience from Liguria, Faenza, and Montelupo.
The plate has the same decoration as the large dish, and probably from the same workshop.
Although the Amor, Cupid, and Putti decorations are typical for the Haarlem Verstraeten production, it was also produced in other cities such as Hoorn, as recent excavations show. In the pottery kiln waste were plates decorated with Amors, Cupids, and Putti with the addition of the stippled band as shown on this dish. This type of band decorations is not known on majolica from Haarlem. Therefore we can attribute this dish to the Hoorn production.
The dish is in very good condition. The dish was broken into four, one large and three smaller pieces. One shared was missing and has been professionally restored.
