Pair Antique Delft Hand-Painted Blue & White Vases are a splendid collectible that was created for the lucrative European market where the clay was treated with a tin solution before glazing resulting in a unique and highly desirable finish that lasts for centuries! This pair features a charming transferware pattern that emphasizes the classic windmills that have achieved a legendary status in the region, surrounded by amazingly detailed bordering on one side, with a floral bouquet on the back side surrounded by the same bordering. Cobalt blue coloration contrasts perfectly with the white of the porcelain. Even if the back side is reflected in a mantel mirror, they're still just as beautiful from any angle! The history of the Delft region has been discussed on this site many times.
Circa early 1900s
Each measures 11H x 5.5 in diameter
