Description

A genuine 18th-century Delft faience tea caddy, rectangular in form with chamfered (beveled) shoulders, hand-painted with classic chinoiserie scenes of figures, birds and flowering branches to each side. Retaining its original domed lid with matching decoration. The painted scenes are vibrant and detailed, typical of the best Delftware of the period. Marked to the underside with an overglaze blue monogram "A", closely linked to the De Porceleyne Byl factory, Delft, circa 1760–1780. The characteristic glaze, craquelure and structure confirm its authenticity as a true piece of period Delftware. A rare and highly collectible tea caddy for the discerning collector of Dutch ceramics and faience.

Condition: Very good antique condition. Minor glaze chips to the rim, old chips and typical wear to the base corners, fine overall glaze craquelure. The original cover has a faint internal hairline and small chips, nearly invisible on display.

Dimensions: Height 14 cm, width 7.3 cm, depth 5.8 cm.
