Blue and White Delft Vase Hand Painted 18th Century Netherlands, circa 1760
$1,430.00This blue and white Delft jar was made in the Netherlands in the early 18th century, circa 1730. The jar is covered in a gorgeous light blue glaze traditional to much early 18th century Dutch Delft. The style of painting is derived from Kangxi-era (1661 to 1722) Chinese wares with decorative floral patterns, especially a vase shown on a garden terrace overflowing with flowers. The shape and decoration are traditional Dutch Delft; the base, the neck with its flower bulb shape, and the everted top have traditional stiff leaf decoration. The overall effect is dramatic and beautiful! Dimensions: 12.75″ tall x 5.25″ diameter x 4.5″ across the octagonal base Condition: Excellent with small edge frits invisibly restored

Pair French Faience Dishes Made circa 1780
$700.00We are pleased to offer these two 18th-century French faience light-hearted dishes painted with figures. The first plate, mustard yellow on a white ground, features an amusing stylized bird. The second plate light green on white ground shows the “Walking Man” a favorite theme of 18th-century European faience and Delft. Both plates have scalloped rims and similar floral motifs throughout. While not a true pair, the two dishes work well together as they are identical in size, the colors compliment each other and the style of painting is similar. They are an amusing and eye-catching pair. Our plates share many of the attributes of faience painted in Southwest France between 1730-1840: the natural scenes decorated in a chinoiserie style, the camaieu colors, and the flanking motifs around a central figure. Like our dishes, most of this type of faience was not signed, and the makers have remained anonymous. References: “French Faience” by Jeanne Giacomotti, page 178. Dimensions: diameter 9.75 inches Condition: Excellent. Price: $700 for the pair. Each plate can be purchased individually for $400 each.

Pekingese Puppy The Imperial Breed 18th Century French Faience
$1,700.00The Pekingese is an imperial breed that has been cultivated for over 2000 years in China. They were only allowed to be owned by the imperial family and were kept in a marble pavilion atop silk cushions. They even had an official rank at court and were known for their self-importance. This breed is still famous for its imperial attitude.
We are excited to offer an 18th-century Rouen Faience figure of a Pekingese puppy. This charming puppy is beautifully modeled and painted with floppy ears, bulging eyes, and a topknot. He is seated on a green rectangular base. This lovely puppy will make a wonderful addition to any dog lover’s home and requires little care except for occasional dusting.
The Pekingese is described in traditional Chinese as follows: “Let the Lion Dog be small, let it wear the swelling cape of dignity around its neck, let it display the billowing standard of pomp above its back,” the “dropped pearls” of wisdom begin. “… Let its eyes be large and luminous, let its ears be set like the sails of war junk, let its nose be like that of the monkey god…”
Dimensions: 8″ tall x 6.5″ long x 3.5″ wide Condition: Excellent
