AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Plateelbakkerij De Distel, Amsterdam – grand earthenware vase with an owl decoration – 33 cm
Impressive earthenware vase from Plateelbakkerij De Distel in Amsterdam, featuring a boldly stylized owl whose outlines cover a large part of the vase.
The decoration is executed in blue-green and dark lines on a light green ground. The owl forms a beautiful whole with the surrounding motifs, including a figure by a wooden railing. The alternation between smooth and textured decorative surfaces gives the vase a lively surface. The glaze shows fine crazing.
Due to its generous size, broad shoulders, and the striking owl decoration, this is a particularly decorative collectible.
Dimensions:
* Height: 33 cm
* Width: about 19 cm
Marks: on the underside stamped ‘Distel’, with additional handwritten markings, see detail photo.
Condition: in original, unrestored condition, with a chip on the underside of the foot. This damage is shown in the photos. There are other signs of use and aging and crazing in the glaze.
The photos are part of the description.
This vase is also on display in several museums, including Museum Goedewaagen, the Rijksmuseum, and the Princessehof Ceramic Museum.
