  • Sobre la obra de arte
    A rare and historically important Delft earthenware double-gourd-shaped vase with Japanese influenced decoration, around 1660-1680, Delft, Holland.
    Blue and white

    Dimensions: 37,2 cm height.

    This rare and historically important Delft earthenware vase has a so called ‘double-gourd’ shape, also known as a ‘húlu (葫芦/葫蘆)’ or ‘bottle gourd (calabash)’. The shape has its origin in ancient Chinese culture. Nevertheless, this vase is copied (or inspired) by the Delft potters quickly after the first lager import arrivals of Japanese (Arita) porcelain in The Netherlands. We can see this type of decoration on the pottery from 1660 on until 1680. All of these Japanese style Delft objects are painted in a soft blue glaze just like the underglaze Arita porcelain examples. They also match closely to the original Japanese decorations. Typical for this Japanese style decorations are the simply painted oriental figures with big round heads, the featherlike pine trees, palmtrees and the symmetrical thick ‘pillars’ that divide the vase in different panels. These elements can also been seen on the vase described. This vase has three different panels divided by dotted cruciform ‘pillars’ against a bleu ground. The 'shoulder part' of the vase has these 'pillars' filled with stiff leaf motifs, that also divide the shoulder in three different panels. The neck has beautiful leaf motifs as well.

    Condition: Very good, with two small professional restorations (one vertical to the neck/neck rim and one of two-centimeter glaze loss of the belly.)
