Pair Antique Blue and White Delft Vases 18th Century Netherlands Circa 1780

About the Item

This elegant pair of Dutch Delft vases is from the late 18th century, circa 1780. They are beautifully hand-painted and feature cobalt blue decoration in the mid-18th-century "Thousand Flowers" style. Each vase depicts a lovely garden scene with a long-tailed songbird surrounded by flowers, leaves, and scrolling vines. The decoration around each base consists of ornamental panels alternating with a floral motif. Blue circles define and separate the five sections of each vase. The design is lively, and the painting is beautifully done. The quality of the glaze is exceptional. The vases have a traditional, softly rounded hexagonal shape with bases that flare out at the bottom. Their long hexagonal necks end in a flared trumpet-shaped opening. In Dutch, this type of vase is called "knobbelvaas." Dimensions: 12 inches tall x 5.5 inches at the widest point Condition: Excellent Price: $3,630 A similar pair can be found in the Philadelphia Museum's Bradbury Bedell Memorial Collection 1921-3-159, 160. Place these vases in a room with other colors, and something magical happens; all the colors in the room come out more sharply. Background of Dutch Delft: Delft's technique was first described by Gerrit Paape in 1794 in "The Delft Pottery Maker. " Dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century. Much of the finest Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They covered the white tin glaze with a clear glaze, which gave depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues. Over time, they became very similar to porcelain. By circa 1650, the potters' and painters' technical skills had greatly improved, and Delft began its golden age.
