Beautiful 19th-century Delftware vase, hand-painted in rich cobalt blue with a detailed Dutch ship scene and decorative lattice framing. The lid is topped with a striking lion finial, a classic symbol of strength in Dutch ceramics.

Oil and Vinegar Set

 500,00

A rare and original matched pair of Delft faience oil and vinegar with a 2-cellar traditional holder, hand-painted in the iconic blue-and-white palette. These exceptional pieces each feature a cherubic putto inside a medallion-like frame—one marked with the letter “A” (‘Azijn’), the other with “O” (‘Olie’).

The bodies are richly decorated with floral scrollwork on the spouts and necks, and charming Dutch landscape scenes with figures, all executed with refined detail and artistry. The glaze displays fine age-related crackling, typical of antique tin-glazed earthenware. The undersides bear the hand-painted claw mark, attributing them to De Klaauw, a factory active in Delft from 1661 to 1840.

Large Lidded Vase, Boch Keramis, Belgium

 275,00

Delft Blue decor, produced by Boch Keramis, with a beautiful Chinese-themed design.

This is a fine example of the worldwide appeal of Delftware.  In 1874 the reputed Belgian company Boch Keramis set up its ‘chambre des peintres Hollandais’, where handpainted Delft style products were produced by Dutch painters hired from Delft and Maastricht. This vase is a testimony of the remarkable quality of this production. By the year 1900 the chambre was closed, due to the increasing competion from industrially produced pottery.

The factory signature can be found on the bottom. The condition is good with a chip under the lid and normal signs of wear.
