Delft, Blue and White Beer Mug with Peacock in Garden, circa 1680-1700

About the Item

Blue and white beer mug with peacock in garden. Delft, 1680-1700. The pear-shaped beer mug with pewter lid stands on a short foot and has an ear-shaped handle that ends in a rat tail. It is painted in blue with a continuous landscape with plants, flowers and a peacock. A second peacock and a bird fly in the sky. The representation is bordered at the top and bottom by lines and bands with scroll ornaments and point circles. Short stripes are applied to the sides of the handle. The flat-round lid is connected to the handle with a two-jaw hinge, and has a spherical thumb rest. A wreath is engraved on the lid with the initials ER and the year 1700 in between. The foot of the beer mug is set in a pewter foot ring. Lid and foot ring are connected by a bracket that extends over the entire handle. The lid is possibly a later replacement. Faience beer mugs were made in the Netherlands from the middle of the seventeenth century. The shape was taken from pewter specimens. The production of the beer mug was particularly extensive in the seventeenth century. Production seems to stop in the second quarter of the eighteenth century: hardly any beer mugs are known after that time. The decor of a peacock in a landscape or garden is derived from decorations on Chinese porcelain, and was frequently painted on Delftware in the last decades of the seventeenth century. In addition to beer mugs, it was also applied to wine jugs, vases, plates and dishes. Dimensions with lid: height 23 cm / 9.05 in, greatest diameter 13 cm / 5.11 in. The mug is about 330 years old and in good condition. With the usual traces of use for an items of this age, glaze chips to handle. I carefully package all items in a double-box and use first class packaging material.

    By Dutch Originals
    Located in Verviers, BE
    Purple and yellow chinoiserie jug. Delft, circa 1680 - 1700 The ovoid jug stands on a lightly spreading foot and has a tapered neck with spout. The top of the handle is pierced for a metal mount. The jug is painted in purple and yellow with a continuous chinoiserie landscape with Chinese figures. Bands with rectangular ornaments between double circles are applied on the shoulder and just above the foot. The neck is painted with a double leaf motif. The handle is decorated with stripes and dots, alternately applied in purlple and yellow. Purple or multi-coloured Delftware with chinoiserie landscapes are relatively rare, though versions in blue and purple, blue and yellow, green and purple are known, as well as three colour combinations like purple, yellow and green. A butter pot in this last colour combination was excavated from a cesspit in the grounds of the former Porcelain Bottle pottery in Delft. Multi-coloured chinoiserie decorations are painted especially on lobed dishes and also on beer mugs, covered spiced wine bowls and small plates. A purple, yellow and green painted beer mug in the Princessehof Ceramics Museum in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, combines a chinoiserie landscape with a depiction of stadtholder prins Willem III...
