Antique Dutch Polychrome Delftware Vase and Cover

18th century
Description

This large and impressive Late 18th Century Antique Dutch Delftware Polychrome Vase and Cover of octagonal form was produced Circa 1775 and stands 47.00 cm. / 18.50 inches high. The decoration, in soft shades of blue, green, yellow ochre and aubergine depicts, on the obverse, a regal figure whom we believe to represent King Henri IV of France, attired in a suit of armour. The sides and reverse are naively painted with sprays of flowers, while the cover is surmounted by a finial in the form of a bird pecking a plum. The underside of the base bears an underglaze blue painted mark formed of the initials C.B. surmounted by a crown and a cross. This mark was, until recently, attributed to the Early 18th Century Brussels atelier of Corneille Mombaers and Thierry Witsenburg, but current scholarship has, so we understand, declared against this. An imposing and decorative piece of polychrome Delftware, fit to grace the finest collection.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Dutch polychrome Delftware refers to tin-glazed earthenware produced primarily around the city of Delft from the seventeenth century onwards, characterised by multi-coloured enamel decoration on an opaque white background.

These vessels were hand-thrown or molded from local clay mixtures, biscuit fired, coated in an opaque white tin glaze, hand-painted with metal oxide pigments, and subjected to a second high-temperature firing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit a yellowish or reddish soft clay body visible at unglazed foot rims, natural crazing, slight irregularities in glaze coverage, hand-painted brushwork marks, and maker marks painted under glaze.

Designers position polychrome ceramics on wooden sideboards, marble mantelpieces, or inside glazed display cabinets, balancing the colourful figurative detail against neutral backgrounds or traditional timber paneling.

Tin-glazed earthenware should be dusted with a soft dry cloth or lightly wiped with a damp microfibre cloth, avoiding full immersion in water or chemical detergents that could penetrate glaze micro-fissures.
