It is my pleasure to offer you this cute Tear Vase produced by the Royal Porceleyne Flaes in Delft Holland.
De Porceleyne Fles was founded in 1653 however it got this name when Joost Thooft took over this small factory at Delft in 1876. He produced traditional blue on white Delftware and tile tableaus but with a new technique and started to use other colours like red and green. Fles painters 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 little tear vase has been painted by Mrs. A.F. Steenbergen-Braver (1959) who joined the factory in 1977 and still works there.
Signed by the painter (LBA) at the back, together with the Fles factory logo, a production# 8088 and yearcode DP for 1996.
