Country Delft and Faience
COUNTRY STYLE
Functional pieces made with local materials that can stand the test of time have defined antique and vintage country furniture around the world.
Country style has varied based on regional tastes, from French Country with tufted sofas and cane-framed beds to American Country with stately Windsor chairs and tables built of pine. Each is imbued with touches that are often described as rustic, a style that is inclusive of a range of decorating modes such as country and farmhouse. Exposed wood, traditional fabrics, natural colors and a sense of heritage through distressed surfaces and handcrafted design are all attributes of country-style interiors.
Country furniture and decor can encompass movements from across centuries that reflect rural life, such as French Provincial, which emerged in the 17th century, Black Forest, which became popular in early-19th-century Switzerland with sculptural furniture carved with animals and Adirondack style, with chairs that debuted in the United States in the early 20th century and became a rustic favorite.
The design of country-style furniture isn’t guided by fleeting trends or elite tastes. Sofas upholstered with animal hide, desks made of oak or pine that show off the grain of their material and dining room tables balanced on sturdy square legs are all popular examples of country furniture. Although the aesthetics of country furniture are eclectic, the pieces are unified by meticulous construction that favors utility over ornamentation.
Contemporary country interiors usually have muted palettes, with white walls and calming shades of blue, where heirloom pieces mingle with vintage baskets and gingham textiles. Unpretentious and timeless, country furniture adds warmth to any home, whether it’s a cabin in the woods or an urban loft apartment.

18th Century Blue and White Delft Bottle Inscribed 'Boy' Hand-Painted Circa 1750
By Delft
Located in Katonah, NY
This blue and white English Delftware bottle, made circa 1750-1760, has a tall, narrow neck with a slightly flared rim on a distinctive globular body. The decoration is the word "BOY" framed by blue dashes.
It is hand-painted in blue, done in a freehand, fluid style that includes typical irregularities in the paint.
Historically, 18th-century English Delftware is known for its freehand, fluid decoration, characterized by minor irregularities that evoke an authentic folk art quality.
The rustic and uneven glaze is also characteristic of this pottery.
The bottle has a utilitarian feel, featuring four protruding lugs on the sides.
Its modest yet charming form, rounded shape, and understated ornamentation reflect the everyday aesthetic of mid-18th-century Delftware production.
Delftware jugs were often created for public houses, and "Boy" might reference part of a pub name, a local drinking song, or a common toast.
Just as likely, given England's strong maritime traditions, this could refer to a sailor's drinking vessel.
In naval and military slang, "Boy" was often used to refer to young sailors or recruits.
This hand-painted inscription adds a personal touch, making this bottle a unique and engaging example of antique Delftware...
