Description
Delft Miniature Vase — a small but elegant example of Holland’s celebrated blue-and-white pottery tradition. This bulbous vase features a hand-painted floral design in classic cobalt blue, with “Hand-painted Delft Holland” marked on the base. Additional initials and a decorative mark suggest either a specific workshop or decorator’s signature.
Delftware has been produced in the Netherlands since the 17th century as a European interpretation of Chinese porcelain. Over time, it developed its own national identity — incorporating tulips, windmills, and other Dutch motifs. This vase’s compact form and painterly detail are typical of mid-century export pieces and tourist ceramics.
A perfect accent for collectors of miniature ceramics or Dutch pottery.
