18th Century Blue and White Delft Jug Inscribed 'Boy' Hand-Painted Circa 1750
By Delft
Located in Katonah, NY
This blue and white English Delft jug, made circa 1750-1760, has a tall, narrow neck with a slightly flared rim on a distinctive globular body. The decoration is the word "BOY" framed by blue dashes. It is hand-painted in blue, done in a freehand, fluid style that includes typical irregularities in the paint. Historically, 18th-century English Delftware is known for its freehand, fluid decoration, characterized by minor irregularities that evoke an authentic folk art quality. The rustic and uneven glaze is also characteristic of this pottery. The jug has a utilitarian feel, featuring four protruding lugs on the sides. Its modest yet charming form, rounded shape, and understated ornamentation reflect the everyday aesthetic of mid-18th-century Delftware production. Delftware jugs were often created for public houses, and "Boy" might reference part of a pub name, a local drinking song, or a common toast. Just as likely, given England's strong maritime traditions, this could refer to a sailor's drinking vessel. In naval and military slang, "Boy" was often used to refer to young sailors or recruits. This hand-painted inscription adds a personal touch, making this jug a unique and engaging example of antique Delftware...

Pair Of Dutch 18th Century Blue And White Delft Chargers
By Delft
Located in Haddonfield, NJ
Two Large Dutch 18th Century Blue and White Delft Chinoiserie Faience Dishes The decoration is inspired by, or actually exact copies of the contemporary Chinese Qianlong dynasty porcelain that came to Europe during the "Florissant Period". This last 18th century period was dominated a "blooming" inter-connected maritime trade between Hong Kong, China and Western Europe, with the Danes, Dutch, English and Swedes being the main participants. Because the Chinese kept their unique porcelain recipe deadly secret, the faience factories of The Netherlands, Denmark, France etc. decide just to copy the Chinese decorations, this pair being a fine example of the workmanship. Interesting fact, in the early 1700 hunderes, the German Meissen Porcelain factory was the first to crack the porcelain production code and they enforced a death penalty...
