Antique Early Delft Pair of Baluster vases 18thC- Dutch -Good size & Rare 19cm H

Posted by admin On October 18, 2026

Rare and Superb 18th Century Delft Pair of Baluster Vases in the Chinese Transitional Period style in imitation of the Chinese Imported vases of the same period most probably made in the Netherlands. These vases are incredibly decorative and of good size with a lovely free interpretation design and quality of painting. This is a great example of an increasingly rare to find pair of vases of this form in 18th Century Delft pottery and in very good condition with minimal wear. The tin glaze wares were made to copy the Oriental Porcelain from China and Japan which were far beyond the pocket of most at that time. Far more fragile than the Oriental porcelain dishes sadly pieces of this period are increasingly hard to find. Condition is very good for Delft of this age. Some loss of glaze to the edging which is common on early delft. Dimensions: Height 17cm (almost 7 inches) Max Diameter: 15cm (just under 6 inches). The item will be very well packed and insured. This is a part of a large Conception Classic collection of Early Pottery and Furniture from the 17th Century and 18th Century.

Rare Early 18thC Norwegian Treen Folk Art Washing Bat Banketre- Dated 1710

Posted by admin On October 17, 2026

Rare & Authentic 1710 Norwegian Folk Art Washing Bat (Banketre)Up for sale is an exceptional piece of early 18th-century Scandinavian folk art. This authentic Norwegian washing bat (banketre) was hand-carved in 1710, a time when rural communities in Norway handcrafted highly decorative utilitarian tools as courting gifts or wedding tokens. Design & Artistry:The face of the paddle features a beautifully preserved, compass-drawn six-petal geometric rosette (sekstannet rosett). This timeless motif was traditionally carved into household objects to bring good luck and ward off misfortune. Elegantly carved directly inside the center of the geometric knot is the clear presentation year: 1710. Minor surface bumps, scuffs, and historical pitting consistent with domestic utility usage in the 1700s. The structural integrity is stable, and it has not been treated with modern waxes or commercial chemicals, preserving its authentic, bare-aged wood finish. From google reverse image search. This is a vintage Scandinavian wooden laundry tool, specifically a washing bat (known as a banketre in Norwegian), traditionally used in 19th-century domestic laundering to beat and extract water or dirt from wet clothes. Design and Carving: Hand-carved from hardwood with a spade-like paddle and a short handle grip, featuring geometric incised or compass-drawn circular motifs. Folk Art Tradition: These utilitarian pieces of treen were often inscribed with initials or dates as courting gifts or wedding tokens in rural Norway and Scandinavia. If you’d like, I can help you:Research the symbolism of the geometric rosette or knot carvings. Find information on dating and valuing antique Scandinavian treen. The text inside the carving shows the year 1710. This means the washing bat is an authentic piece of early 18th-century Scandinavian folk art (treen). Significance of the InscriptionDating: It places the creation of the piece in the late Baroque period. Courting Gift: In rural Scandinavia, young men often spent winters carving beautiful household tools like this for their sweethearts. The date commemorates the year it was presented. This is fitting for museum collections with similar 18th-century Norwegian or Swedish laundry paddles. That confirms it is a classic Norwegian banketre (washing bat). Pieces like this from the very early 1700s are highly prized examples of traditional Norwegian wood carving (treutskjæring). Regional and Historical ContextThe 1710 Era: During this time, Norway was in a dual-monarchy with Denmark. In rural valleys, remote communities relied heavily on self-sufficiency, leading to highly developed, distinct regional styles of decorative folk art. The Rosette Motifs: The compass-drawn circular pattern shown in your image was one of the most common geometric symbols used across Norwegian folk textiles and woodwork. It is often referred to locally as a sekstannet rosett (six-pointed rosette). PLEASE SEE PHOTOS WHICH FORM ITEM DESCRIPTION.
