Pair Large Blue and White Delft Jars Made Netherlands 18th Century Circa 1780
About the Item
This exquisite pair of 18th-century blue and white Delft jars are hand-painted in deep cobalt blue with an all-over design of flowers and scrolling vines.
The jars are octagonal with gently curving sides that are fluted.
The fluting enlivens the swirling design as light plays over the curving surface.
The effect is beautiful!
Acanthus leaves decorate both the shoulder and base of each jar.
Traditional lion finials top the covers. These finials are particularly excellent. Looking closely, one can see that each lion has its own personality.
Dimensions: 16.75" tall x 8.5" across the widest point x 5" across the base.
Condition: Excellent with small edge chips invisibly restored
Price: $7,400
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 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 circa 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
