Blue and White Delft Large Pear Shaped Vase
$5,700.00This extraordinary Delft vase dates to the late 17th century. It is modeled after Chinese pear-shaped bottles, conventionally known as “yuhuchun bottles,” made since the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The vase’s designs are partially inspired by traditional Chinese motifs, though the Dutch artisans did incorporate their own artistic ingredients into the design. The top section is graced by two bands of Asian-style decorations, one featuring seaweed scrolls and the other highlighting diamond patterns. These decorations can often be spotted in “Transitional-style” Chinese porcelains (1630-1670). The vase’s body is ornately painted with a lovely garden scene and demonstrates a seamless combination of Eastern and Western decorative elements. While we see classic Chinese garden landscape components such as butterflies, pierced rocks, a long-tailed bird (probably a pheasant), and banana leaves, European-style trefoils and arabesques distinguish the vase from its Oriental counterparts. The soft blue pigment gives the vase a subtle touch. Viewing this exquisite vase reminds its viewer of the eternal charm of nature.
Dimensions: 18.5″ tall x 8.75″ diameter at the widest point.
Current Condition: Excellent with small edge chips invisibly restored.

Pair of Large Blue and White Delft Chargers Made, circa 1780
$3,400.00We are pleased to offer this pair of large blue and white Delft chargers made by and with the mark of “The Claw” factory in the Netherlands, in the 18th century, circa 1780. The design is exuberant – as though the artist wanted to fill the entire space with delightful motifs. In the center is a vase overflowing with curving branches of leaves and flowers, but beyond this are much more stylized elements repeated around the entire dish. We see rows of fruits or berries, leaves, daisies, flowerpots holding roses, and large fanciful blossoms around the rim. Everything is connected with stripes, spirals, circles and scrolls to make a harmonious whole, a feast for the eyes.
These chargers will work well in a traditional or contemporary home.
This pair is part of our large collection of blue and white Dutch Delft, which can be viewed here.
