About the Item

This exquisite pair of large blue and white Delft jars was hand-painted in the Netherlands during the late 19th century, around 1880. The design features shaped panels, each depicting a scene of a vase filled with flowers and foliage, surrounded by more flowers and foliage, all rendered in deep blue. The jars have a fluted body that adds visual interest as light reflects off the gracefully curving surface. The shoulders of the jars are adorned with a band of stylized blossoms, leaves, and trailing vines. The matching domed covers are decorated to complement the jars and are topped with traditional Delft lion finials painted in cobalt blue. These jars are elegantly proportioned and beautifully decorated. Dimensions: 17.25" tall x 8.5" wide x 5.25" diameter at the base Condition: Excellent, ideal for display Price: $3,200 Material: Tin-glazed earthenware (Delft) Style: Strong 17th-century design influence Origin: Netherlands Date: Circa 1880 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 began to cover 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 approximately 1650, the technical skills of potters and painters had greatly improved, and Delft began its golden age.
