Blue and White Delft Punch Bowl Hand Painted Mid 18th Century Netherlands

About the Item

This is a blue and white Dutch Delft punch bowl (10.25" diameter) made in the mid-18th century, around 1760. The bowl is hand-painted in vibrant shades of cobalt blue. The outside of the bowl features lively flowers, vines, rockwork, and a butterfly. The inside of the bowl is decorated around the top with a band of dots and diamonds that create a wavelike pattern. In the well of the bowl, we see a flowering plant with three lovely budding flowers. The bowl has traditional steep sides raised from a short foot. The Dutch potters learned this shape from Chinese porcelain bowls, which the Dutch East India Company imported from China in the early 17th century. Dimensions: 10.25" diameter x 4.5" tall Condition: Fair: There are three 1.5" fine hairlines, which can be seen in the images. Overall, the bowl is in good condition. Price: $440 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.
