Pair Antique Blue and White Dutch Delft Vases

About the Item

This pair of tall blue and white antique Delft vases was hand-painted in the Netherlands during the late 19th century, around 1880-1890. They have a distinctive bottle-like silhouette, known as flesvormige vaas, featuring a narrow neck and a fuller, rounded body. The decoration consists of chrysanthemums and plum blossoms, which wrap gracefully around the vases. These flowers symbolize the transition from Fall to Spring, representing the continuity of time through the seasons. Adding to their visual appeal, the bodies of the vases are fluted, creating texture that enhances how light reflects off their surfaces. Dimensions: 14.25" tall x 7" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $3,400 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.
