Pair Blue and White Dutch Delft Tobacco Jars Hand Painted Circa 1780
$2,300.00This splendid pair of large Dutch Delft blue and white tobacco jars dates to circa 1780 and is attributed to the celebrated De Vergulde Blompot (The Gilded Flowerpot) factory.
Beautifully hand-painted in rich cobalt blue, the jars feature elaborate floral and scrolling decoration that gives them exceptional decorative presence.
One jar bears the factory’s BP mark in underglaze blue.
The painting features elaborate scrolling vines, leaves, and flowers that surround the large central reserves inscribed DUNKERKER.
Originally made for display in a tobacconist’s shop, the jars held a variety of tobacco known as DUNKERKER.
Their large size, beautifully rounded forms, and boldly painted inscriptions made them both practical storage vessels and beautiful shop furnishings.
Today, the pair would be marvelous displayed together on a mantel, sideboard, or library table.
A closely related Dutch Delft tobacco jar inscribed DUNKERKER is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s collection.
Made circa 1764–1772 by De Porceleyne Schotel under Johannes van Duijn, the museum’s jar provides an important documented comparison for the form, inscription, and original function. The museum identifies DUNKERKER, also known as Duinkerken, as a type of chewing tobacco.
