{"product_id":"antique-delft-blue-white-vase-18th-century","title":"Antique Delft Blue White Vase 1757–1765 De Grieksche A","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThis rare and museum-quality Delft blue and white vase is an exceptional example of 18th-century Dutch ceramic artistry. Produced by the renowned De Grieksche A (The Greek A) factory in Delft, the piece dates precisely to the ownership period of Jan Teunis Dextra (1757–1765), as confirmed by the authentic underglaze monogram on the base.\u003cbr\u003eThe vase features finely executed hand-painted decoration in a Chinoiserie-inspired floral style, rendered in deep cobalt tones over a luminous tin-glazed surface. Its elegant octagonal form and refined geometric symmetry reflect the sophistication of mid-18th-century European ceramic design.\u003cbr\u003eAs expected for a piece over 260 years old, the vase shows age-related wear consistent with its history. This includes characteristic fritting along the edges, visible chips, and old restorations. These features are typical for authentic Delftware of this period and serve as evidence of its age and originality.\u003cbr\u003eDespite this, the vase remains structurally stable and visually striking — a true collector’s piece suited for advanced collections or curated interiors.\u003cbr\u003ePlease review all photos, as they are an integral part of the description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"602\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"600\"\u003eProduct details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"658\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"1300\" data-start=\"1277\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height: 12\", Width: 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"710\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"675\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHand-painted tin-glazed earthenware (Delftware)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"755\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"724\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDe Grieksche A (The Greek A), Delft, Netherlands\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"774\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"767\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1757-1765 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"893\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"791\"\u003eSignature: \u003c\/strong\u003eAuthentic Dextra-period factory mark on the underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1723\" data-start=\"1709\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAntique condition with rim fritting, chips, and historical restorations; stable and display-ready\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe De Grieksche\u003c\/strong\u003e A factory, founded in 1658 in Delft, was one of the most respected producers of Delftware in the Netherlands.

Surviving examples are increasingly rare, especially in complete forms such as this octagonal vase.\u003cbr\u003eToday, 18th-century Delftware from De Grieksche A is highly sought after by collectors and institutions, appreciated for both its artistic quality and historical significance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artemis Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42302730240094,"sku":"2040304","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/5807\/8302\/files\/Ceramic_Vase_in_Delft_Style_De_Grieksche_A_1757_1765_1.jpg?v=1766700715","url":"https:\/\/artemisrow.com\/products\/antique-delft-blue-white-vase-18th-century","provider":"Artemis Row","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
