Butter dish and stand

Doornik, c. 1777 - c. 1790

One of Lijncker’s suppliers, the factory in Tournai, produced only pâte-tendre, or soft-paste porcelain. This forerunner of true porcelain consists of a mixture of white clay and ground glass. Characteristic of Tournai porcelain is spirally moulded border, which is found on both the butter dish and on the stand. The meticulously painted flowers on the butter dish are typical of The Hague porcelain.
