Delft Blue and White Vase Hand Painted 18th Century circa 1780 Netherlands

About the Item

Made circa 1780, this 18th century Dutch Delft vase was hand painted with floral decoration of flowers and scrolling vines. A beautiful deep cobalt blue covers most of the surface. The vase has a traditional Dutch Delft shape; an octagonal base rising to the main body, a slim neck ending in a flower bulb shape, and an everted mouth. Dimensions: 10.5" tall x 4.75" diameter Condition: Excellent with small edge chips invisibly restored Price: $1,280 Background of Dutch Delft: The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in "The Delft Pottery Maker," written in 1794 and dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century. Much of the most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then began to cover the white tin glaze with a clear glaze, giving depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues. Over time they created a good resemblance to porcelain. By circa 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
