Delft Blue Plate, Wall Hanging Charger Plate, Delftware plate, The four seasons, buying Summer Scene, Picking Apples

This plate is part of the collector's plates called Four Seasons. This plate is a summer season, represents picking apples.
Made in Japan.
Let me start by explaining that though "true" Delft is made in Delft, Holland, delft/faience/majolica was/is made all over the world .
MARK - either it were commissioned by a Holland firm as imports to sell as tourist souvenirs or the Japanese potter was taking advantage of the demand for Delftware. The mark looks very much like a typical delft mark...almost like Goedewaagen's...with "royal," a puffy crown, and "delfts blauw Handwerk"...but if you look closely...the crown base has the name "JAPAN" in it!
Perfect for an Anniversary/Wedding gift buying or adding to your collection!
Diameter: 19 cm (7,2")
CONDITION - EXCELLENT!

- Holding the plates at different angles and there are minor scratches to the glaze...it's showing its age :-)
