Pair Antique Blue and White Dutch Delft Jars Netherlands Circa 1860

About the Item

The decoration on this pair of blue and white Dutch Delft jars features intricate floral patterns, scrolling foliage, and a central vase, all hand-painted in two shades of rich cobalt blue. The painting has great energy as if the flowers were growing wildly as we watched. Elegant curves frame the design, adding to the visual appeal. The covers are topped with lion finials that are traditional to Dutch Delft. Made in the Netherlands circa 1860, jars like this would have been placed on a fireplace mantle or a pair of brackets. Dimensions: Height 13.5" x 6" at the widest point x 5" deep at the deepest point Condition: Excellent with very small edge chips invisibly restored. Price: $2600 Background of Dutch 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.
