Pair 18th Century Delft Blue & White Vases

About the Item

Pair 18th century delft blue & white vases are of a type that is getting more rare with each passing year. Alas, the fragile nature of such hand-crafted ceramics means a certain percentage is lost each year to breakage, but that makes the remaining examples all the more valuable! This pair was clearly intended for a mantel in front of a mirror, as they have been beautifully hand-painted in rich cobalt blue completely all around. The main scenes are both depicting courtship, but even a cursory examination will reveal each is unique, making them both individual works of art. The Baroque influence is apparent in the framework around the primary scenes, as is the bordering and other embellishment. The Delft region in Holland has been known for its fine porcelains for centuries, and this collectible pair is ideal for the cognoscenti who recognize treasured artworks that deserve a place of honor in your home!. Circa 1780s. Each measures 18.5 H x 10.5 W x 9 D.

18th Century Dutch Polychrome Delft Baluster Form Vase
Located in Dallas, TX
This hand-painted Delft vase was produced in the Netherlands in the 1700’s. Delft is a city in the western part of the Netherlands that is world-renowned for ceramic pieces. As a home port of the Dutch East India Company, Delft was at the forefront of producing faience wares, which were influenced by imported Chinese porcelain. The prototypical Delftware has a white background with hand-painted cobalt blue imagery, though they can also be found in multi-colored or “polychrome” variations, such as ours. Our baluster form vase has a hand painted scene depicting a woman in a flowing dress walking across a field. The scene is surrounded by flowers, curled leaves, and a diapered background with flowering vine offshoots. On the opposite side of the baluster is a large flowering vine. The lid has a rural life cartouche that is painted with a scene depicting a farm overlooking a field or body of water . The handle of the lid has a similarly colored bird perched on a sinuous branch, while pecking at a berry. This particular design was seen on many delft baluster...
