Large Dutch Delft Garniture Five Piece Polychrome Made Circa 1880 Netherlands
About the Item
This charming Dutch Delft garniture comprises the traditional five pieces: two beaker vases and three baluster-form jars with their covers.
It is in excellent condition.
We see a romantic countryside scene with a shepherdess and sheep.
Sitting comfortably in the shade of a large tree, she holds her staff and looks out onto a spacious grassy meadow.
In the background, we see a castle turret to her left and a church and steeple on her right.
The scene evokes the romantic feeling of the 18th century.
To create the scene, the painter used soft earth-tone colors: two shades of blue, green, iron-red, yellow, and manganese.
The scene is bordered by a molded bright yellow and manganese cartouche with manganese flowers at the head and base.
The reverse side of each vase has green leafy branches and red flowers.
Each cover is painted with a yellow flower and surmounted by a traditional lion finial.
Dimensions: The covered vases are 15" tall x 7" wide x 4.25" deep at the base
The open vases are 10" tall x 5.5" wide x 3.75" deep at the base
Condition Excellent: small edge frits are invisibly restored
Price: $3,200
Background
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 finest 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, which gave 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.

- 18th Century Dutch Polychrome Delft Baluster Form VaseLocated in Dallas, TXThis hand-painted Delft vase was produced in the Netherlands in the 1700’s. Delft is a city in the western part of the Netherlands that is world-renowned for ceramic pieces. As a home port of the Dutch East India Company, Delft was at the forefront of producing faience wares, which were influenced by imported Chinese porcelain. The prototypical Delftware has a white background with hand-painted cobalt blue imagery, though they can also be found in multi-colored or “polychrome” variations, such as ours. Our baluster form vase has a hand painted scene depicting a woman in a flowing dress walking across a field. The scene is surrounded by flowers, curled leaves, and a diapered background with flowering vine offshoots. On the opposite side of the baluster is a large flowering vine. The lid has a rural life cartouche that is painted with a scene depicting a farm overlooking a field or body of water . The handle of the lid has a similarly colored bird perched on a sinuous branch, while pecking at a berry. This particular design was seen on many delft baluster...Category
