18th Century Blue and White Delft Bottle Inscribed 'Boy' Hand-Painted Circa 1750
By Delft
Located in Katonah, NY
This blue and white English Delftware bottle, 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 bottle 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 bottle a unique and engaging example of antique Delftware...

Blue and White Bottle Named "Boy" Made circa 1750
By Nevers
Located in Katonah, NY
Painted in underglaze blue with the word "Boy"
For many years this type of bottle with the word "Boy" was thought to be English Delft. But recent research has determined that bottles of this kind are mid-18th century French faience, from Nevers in the Loire valley.
The lugged shape is found in both French and Italian pottery. This fine example has two small loop handles on each side.
