Description from the seller
Delft blue pot with a thumb rest from the second half of the 17th century (1660-1680).
The pot is painted with a decoration of plants and flowers featuring two birds, one on a rock and one among reeds. This chinoiserie decoration is based on 17th-century Chinese porcelain. The pot presents a pressed convex form on a foot with a stand ring. The handle is shaped like a thumb rest. The glaze is in good condition. The inside edge of the rim is slightly rough, the bottom has a crack from the production process. Tin glaze over white-fired earthenware.
This form is uncommon, possibly a bird feeder or an inkpot.
