RARE VERY LARGE EARLY 18th. CENTURY HAND PAINTED DELFT VASE. This is a wonderful, early, and large 18th. Century hand painted blue and white Delft tin glazed vase of Dutch origin. In a very large shouldered ovoid Orientalist form with small collar rim it’s decorated with fine hand painted stylised images, in an Eastern manner, of a figure in a lake side scene to two panels, while the other two panels portray two figures on a bridge leading to a village. Each panel and shoulder is separated by Orientalist floral borders, while the base has Pieter Gerritsz’s under-glaze hand painted’PK’ mark – see photographs and details. It measures 13″ (33cm) x 8 1/2″ (22cm) W approx; and is in excellent condition for a piece of tin glazed faience of its age however, there are some small firing faults and light crazing, to report – see photographs and details. This is a lovely, large, and unusual Delft hand painted Orientalist vase with an interesting subject, which with a realistic, yet still low start price should get a good deal of interest from all collectors.
