About the Item

Description 17th/18th century Height 340 mm approx, diameter 125 mm (4.33 inch), diameter of mouthrim 85 mm, diameter of foot 115 mm. Earthenware double gourd vases with a large mouth. Decorated in different in blue on a white tin glaze in Chinese Transitional style with figures in a mountainous landscape. In the period (1630-1645) the VOC (Dutch East India Company, 1602–1799) ordered Chinese porcelain through the Company's factory on Formosa (Taiwan). The Transitional style had been very popular in the Netherlands. As with kraak porcelain the decorative elements are taken from the repertoire of the Chinese Transitional style porcelain. After Chinese exports came to a standstill due to internal conflicts around 1647 the shapes and decorations of transitional porcelain were frequently imitated in Delft faience, these ewer are a good and rare example of those imitations copied by Delft potters. Condition: Vase 1 with hole in the base, fritting/chips to base rim and restoration to rim and body. Vase 2 with fritting/chips to base and upper rim. Both vases with some crackle lines in glaze. Size; 340mm high and 150mm widest point.
