Product Description

(Click to Enlarge)

It is my pleasure to offer you this monumental covered urn produced by De Porceleyne Fles in Delft.

De Porceleyne Fles was founded in 1653 however it got famous when Joost Thooft took over this small factory at Delft in 1876. He produced traditional blue on white Delft ware and tile tableaus but with a new technique and started to use other colors like red and green.
The polychrome palette of the period after WWII consists of Mediterranean colors like olive green, ochre-yellow, maroon, dark blue and russet.

The painters of Royal Delft are trained in the factory starting off with simple designs in blue/white on the smaller pieces. A painter first has to learn how to paint the little flowers and leaves that so characteristically adorn Delftware vases and the borders of Delftware plates. The painters then gradually progress to larger pieces with more complicated designs. Only the master painters, who have trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague paint the elaborate landscape and Dutch masters pieces.

This is such a high quality vase of exceptional dimensions.

Fully marked on the bottom with the yearmark DG (=1987), the Royal Delft Logo, The stylized JT of Joost Thooft and the master painters initials J.KE (= J.W. Ket who worked at Royal Delft from 1946-1994 !!).

The Porceleijne Fles is still operational and with the renewed interest in Delft Blue it is very much alive. The nowadays (new) list price indication of this item is over US$1200.
