Plate Memento Mori | Schiffmacher | Royal Delft | Delftware

The Memento Mori Plate is a design by tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher for the Royal Delft pottery factory. This Delft Blue plate is part of the Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo series: various ceramic products, such as plates and vases, have been adorned by Henk Schiffmacher with traditional tattoo symbols in Delft Blue. The plate is available in two sizes with different designs.

Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo

This collection is a unique collaboration between tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher and Royal Delft. Royal Delft's classic porcelain design is combined with tattoo symbols, such as anchors and roses. At first glance, perhaps not the most obvious combination. But both use traditional crafts, which originated in a distant ancient world and were brought here overseas. Both use ink to apply a unique work of art, with a needle in the skin or with a brush on biscuit.
The Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo collection consists of both hand-painted items and transferred pieces.

Memento Mori Plate

Memento Mori is the counterpart of the famous Carpe Diem. Remember to die or "Remember that one day you will die and appear before the face of God." The recurring faith, hope, and love are clearly visible in this scene. On the body of the infant Christ, we see the tattoo that foretells his future. On his leg, he has the crucifixion; on his belly, an old pilgrim's tattoo with the Armenian text "I have truly lived."

About Royal Delft

Royal Delft is also known by the name Porceleyne Fles. This pottery factory has been creating high-quality Delft Blue products since 1653. It is the only remaining pottery factory from the 17^th century in Delft that still produces traditional hand-painted porcelain.
The traditional painting remains central, but over time various techniques have been added. For example, extensive use is made of the transfer process, where an image is printed on the ceramic using screen printing. This results in a high-quality product that is more affordable than the hand-painted collection.
