Item Description:
Absolute Rare Find! Up for sale/sale is a highly collectible, authentic 18th-century Dutch Delftware lobed bowl featuring the historic hand-painted underglaze factory mark of De Klaauw (The Claw) on the base. The factory operated in Delft from 1661 to 1840, and pieces bearing this genuine early mark are increasingly difficult for collectors to find.
The bowl features a beautiful, deep-wavy scalloped rim and is hand-painted in a rich cobalt blue underglaze. The central medallion showcases a classic Chinoiserie-inspired scene depicting a stylized garden with mountains, flora, and foliage. The exterior is equally detailed with panel-style floral and foliate motifs.
Dimensions:
- Diameter: 6 inches
- Height: 2.5 inches
Condition Report:
This is an authentic, centuries-old piece of tin-glazed earthenware. As is characteristic and expected of true period Delft pottery, there are chips and glaze flaking (fritting) along the delicate scalloped rim, exposing the natural buff/terracotta clay body underneath. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess the physical condition before purchasing. Sold exactly as shown.
