Description from the seller
Villeroy & Boch knob vase with maritime scene (Ships)
A refined example of Dutch craftsmanship: this elegant Delft blue knob vase was crafted by the world-famous pottery factory De Porceleyne Fles, also known as Royal Delft.
The vase is executed in the classic baluster form with a garlic neck, a model that originated in the 17th century but regained popularity in the 20th century within the Delft repertoire.
What makes this piece special is the central maritime scene: gracefully painted sailing ships on calm water, a typical Dutch motif that refers to the rich maritime history of the Netherlands. The depiction is surrounded by floral ornamentation in deep cobalt blue, with subtle nuances and brushstrokes that reveal the hand-painted nature.
The underside bears the hand-painted mark “V & B Delft,” together with model number 5477 and form number 3307 3.
The central cartouche with sailing ships is executed in a traditional Dutch maritime style, often inspired by 17th-century painting.
A stylish object that works equally well as a stand-alone decorative piece as within a collection of Delftware.
Dimensions: H 23.5 cm x W 12 cm
Weight: 514 grams
This item is in very good condition with no defects and is securely packed for smart shipping, sent by registered and insured post with track and trace.
