AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered an exceptionally large and rare specimen from the First Steenwijker Art Pottery Factory (ESKAF). This is model number 836, a monumental and robust design with a bulging belly, profiled foot rim and an elegantly wavy, ribbed neck.
The vase dates from the early Art Deco / Amsterdam School period (c. 1927–1934), the sought-after years when the factory, after moving from Steenwijk, was active in Huizen.
The vase is finished in a beautiful matte black glaze, decorated with a rich, colorful and stylized floral motif. The design is most likely by the well-known designer and artistic director Willem Hendrik van Norden. Every detail of the leaves, flowers and the distinctive dot patterns is completely hand-painted.
Bottom marked with:
• Factory name: ESKAF (in the characteristic black glaze stroke)
• Model number: 836 (handwritten)
• Painter's signature: Personal mark 'B' with a decorative curl
Specifications:
• Factory: ESKAF (Eerste Steenwijker Kunst-Aardewerkfabriek)
• Period: Art Deco / Amsterdam School (c. 1927-1934)
• Model: 836
• Height: 27.5 cm (Exceptionally large size for this series!)
• Condition: Flawless. The vase is in absolute top condition. No chips, no hairlines and completely free of restorations. The matte glaze and the colors have remained splendid and fresh.
A beautifully documented and museum-worthy centerpiece for the serious collector of early Dutch ceramic art.
