This beautiful jar was hand painted in the Netherlands around 1800.
It is decorated with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern that features alternating ogival panels with Oriental figures and vases containing peonies.
The jar is lobed in an octagonal form which adds visual interest, as light plays off the gently curved sides.
The top edge of the jar is shaped like a flower.
Dimensions: 7″ tall x 6″ diameter at widest point
Condition: Very Good, with some very light lines in the glaze.
Price: $480
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.
