About Tribal Dragon Plate

This plate depicts a water dragon against a background of tribal patterns. The water dragon is seen as flexible and is associated with intuition and sensitivity. They have a great understanding of deep emotions and can easily adapt to social situations.   “The middle plate is a water dragon. The water dragon is the most important astrological symbol there is.” – Henk Schiffmacher   The plate is part of a set consisting of three dragons: the Water Dragon, the Tribal Dragon, and the Blue Dragon. The Chinese zodiac sign of the dragon belongs to people born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1988, 2000, or 2012. The dragon is considered a powerful and charismatic creature and possesses the traits of pride, vivacity, enthusiasm, irresistibility, zeal, success, extroversion, and inspiration, and is exceptionally well-loved. In Chinese astrology, there are also different elements. On these plates, you see the dragon depicted together with the element of water.   The Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo collection is a collaboration that has existed since 2019. The collection includes various products, from tiles to mugs and from plates to vases. Each product features a design created by Schiffmacher in collaboration with our master painters.   The product comes with a certificate of authenticity.     View the Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo collection

De Porceleyne Fles in Delft

Transfer: from design to screen print

Centuries-old craftsmanship lives on in De Porceleyne Fles. The screen printing technique, with its origins in eighteenth-century England, is still an essential part of the decorating process. Here, heritage, precision and craft come together in every ceramic object.

The design

The design

Even when the screen printing technique is used, the hand of the Royal Delft master painter is still part of the design. The first design is put on paper with a brush, using the same black paint. Once a final design has been made, it is sent to the printer. The printer scans it digitally and then turns it into a screen print.

The screen print

The screen print

This is divided into four separate layers for the four different shades of blue. It is then printed onto plastic films, and the films are exposed onto a screen printing frame. In this way the design transfers from the film to the frame. This is done four times for the different shades of blue, after which a carrier layer is added on top. That carrier holds the entire design together.

Applying and firing

Applying and firing

The transfer is then applied to the glazed product, after which it fuses with the glaze layer during the second firing.
