About the Item

This pair of Dutch Delft mantle jars was hand-painted in the Netherlands circa 1770. The decoration captures the quiet poetry of the Dutch countryside. Each jar is painted in luminous cobalt blue with a pastoral scene of cows resting peacefully within a fenced meadow. The meadow is framed by gently bending trees and distant mountains beneath a sky dotted with birds in flight. The composition draws the viewer's eye to the cows, a symbol of rural life and harmony with nature. Each jar is topped with a cover that has a traditional Delft spotted lion finial, an emblem of Dutch ceramic art. The jars convey a sense of tranquility, showcasing a scene of everyday Dutch life in an elegant shape. Dimensions: 14.5″ tall x 6.5″ diameter at the widest point x 4″ diameter at the base Condition: Excellent, with minor edge chips invisibly restored Price: $1,800 Notable Details Pair of 18th-century Dutch Delft mantle jars Hand-painted in blue and white with pastoral cow scenes Covers topped with classic Delft spotted lion finials Rococo-inspired design, combining pastoral imagery with sculptural lids Background of Delft: 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 most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then covered the white tin glaze with a clear glaze, giving 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 were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
