Background of Dutch Delft:
The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in “The Delft Pottery Maker,” published in 1794 and dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw. Delft faience began in the seventeenth century, with much of the finest production centered in the city of Delft. Potters coated their wares in an opaque white tin glaze and applied decoration in cobalt before covering the surface with a clear glaze. This process gave depth to the blues and a smooth, luminous finish. By about 1650, technical skill had advanced significantly, ushering in the golden age of Delft production -

Large English Delft Blue and White Hand Painted Punch Bowl Liverpool 1760
$2,600.00This large English Delft punch bowl was hand painted in Liverpool around 1760. At thirteen inches in diameter, it combines substantial scale with notable lightness in both its thin potting and the clear soft tone of its cobalt blue.

A lively songbird moves through flowering sprays beneath a structured diaper border at the rim. The outlines are firm, the washes controlled, and the brushwork remains visible.
The cobalt stays light rather than dark or inky, allowing the decoration to read clearly across the broad surface. The glaze has a cool white cast with slight bluish translucency and an even surface with only mild pooling. That clarity supports the painting and sharpens the blue.

Broad, confident strokes of deep cobalt form the rockwork and songbirds, while finer brushwork describes the willow branches, flowers, foliage, fence, and butterfly. The contrast between the stronger central forms and the lighter, freely drawn details gives the scene remarkable movement and life.
A wide border of flowering vines encircles the charger. Painted with considerable freedom, the blossoms, leaves, and curling stems create a lively frame for the garden scene. Against the warm white tin-glazed ground, the cobalt ranges from pale washed blue to an intense inky blue.
At 14 inches in diameter, the charger has substantial scale and considerable decorative presence. Its blue and white palette and charming garden scene would bring the character of 18th-century English Delft to a room. The charger is also notable for its excellent condition. Only very small edge frits have been invisibly restored, an especially desirable state of preservation for a large English Delft charger dating to the mid-18th century.

Pair Large Blue and White Boch Frères Delft Jars Hand Painted Circa 1922

Boch established its Belgian pottery at La Louvière in 1841, and Boch Frères began production there in 1844. The factory became particularly known for wares inspired by Dutch Delft, and its quality was recognized almost immediately with a medal at the Brussels exhibition of 1847.

18th Century French Blue and White Porcelain Soup Tureen Bleu d’Arras Circa 1780
$860.00This late 18th-century French porcelain soup tureen was made at the Arras factory circa 1780 and is hand-painted with delicate cornflower sprigs in the distinctive deep blue enamel known as Bleu d’Arras.
Small cornflower sprigs are painted with a fine brush and spaced across the creamy white porcelain ground.
Cornflowers were a favored naturalistic motif of the Louis XVI period, reflecting the late 18th-century French taste for botanical ornament.
The tureen is beautifully shaped, with a softly domed lid and an elegant branch-form finial that complements the naturalistic decoration.
The rim follows a gently scalloped line highlighted with a fine blue band, while molded handles complete the rounded form.
The restrained decoration allows the rich Bleu d’Arras enamel and the creamy porcelain ground to stand out clearly.
The Arras manufactory was founded in the 1770s by the Delemer sisters and remained in operation for only about twenty years.
During that brief period, the factory became known for elegant porcelain forms and for the distinctive blue enamel associated with its production. Surviving Arras porcelain is comparatively scarce.
The underside of the tureen bears the “AR” mark together with the flying bird device used by the Arras porcelain factory.
Dimensions: 10.25″ diameter x 9″ height

The painter worked with a direct and expressive hand, giving the figure and foliage a lively, almost whimsical character that is especially appealing in early Delft decoration.
