Pair Antique Dutch Delft Cows Painted in Polychrome Petit Feu Colors Circa 1780

About the Item

This pair of small polychrome figures of recumbent cows was made in Delft, Holland, circa 1780. Each cow shows a spotted hide and brown forelock, eyes, horns, and tail. Each is decorated with a delicate garland of flowers around its neck and a colorful blanket of flowers on its back. The colors are soft yet vibrant. The cows are modeled lying on the "green grass" of a conforming base. The sides of each base are decorated: one with dashes of yellow, red, and light blue, the other red, yellow, and brown, replicating a marbleized design. The cows are so delightfully expressive! Dimensions 3 inches tall x 3.5 inches across the base Condition: Good. The ears and the bases have small, invisible professional restorations. Price $2,100 for the pair Background of Petit Feu colors: Japanese Imari porcelains reached the Netherlands in the mid-17th century. They became very popular and inspired Delft potters to emulate their colorful designs. In particular, Delft potters began experimenting with various color and firing techniques to achieve the Japanese style. The low-temperature firing of enamel colors (petit feu) was one technique that allowed delft potters to expand their color palette. This technique was first used at the beginning of the 18th century. It requires three firings, allowing the potter to use colors that could not withstand the high temperatures in the kiln during the second firing (grand feu). With the low-temperature colors on top of the glaze, the objects were fired again at a lower temperature.
