Decorative 29.5 cm diameter earthenware pedestal bowl by Potterie Oud Delft, Nijmegen, Netherlands, dating to the 1950s–1960s, in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear and age, featuring a polychrome floral pattern and a scalloped, ribbed rim on stylised clawed feet.
Description from the seller
Beautiful, richly decorated earthenware bowl on feet. The bowl stands out for its wavy, crenellated edge and refined polychrome painting in the tradition of classic majolica or tin-glazed earthenware.
The interior is masterfully decorated with a continuous pattern of floral motifs, acanthus leaves and graceful scrolls (volutes).
The color palette consists of vivid cobalt blue, deep orange, ochre yellow and contrasting green on a bright white base. The bowl rests on elegantly shaped claw-footed or scroll feet that are subtly tinted.
The mark is from Potterie Oud Delft, a pottery factory founded in 1920 in Nijmegen. This specific logo was introduced in 1935 and was used until the takeover in 1996.
Meaning of the marks;
830: The model number of the earthenware object (such as a bowl or vase).
Central emblem: A stylized potter’s wheel surrounded by the letters O (left), u (top) and D (right), which together spell OUD.
Delft: The name of the pottery style, handwritten in an elegant typeface.
S / 9/6: The initials of the painter who decorated the object by hand, combined with an internal factory code or year designation.
Although it says "Delft" on it, this piece is historically produced in Nijmegen by Potterie Oud Delft.
Diameter: 29.5 cm
Height: 7.5 cm
