About the Item

The interior of the bowl shows two thin bands of blue double lines. Dimensions: 4.5" tall x 10.5" in diameter Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored Price: $ 1,400 Background of Dutch Delft: Dutch Delft is made from earthenware, a pottery known for its rich, creamy texture. The blue and white color scheme is achieved using cobalt oxide for the blue and a tin glaze that produces the characteristic white 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 completely in 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 had greatly improved, and Delft began its golden age
