Finely hand-painted in traditional cobalt blue on a tin-glazed ground, the piece features a refined two-handled form with balanced proportions and elegant detailing.\u003cbr\u003eThe decoration presents two distinct compositions: a classic Dutch landscape with a windmill and sailing boats on one side, and a carefully executed floral motif on the other. Both are rendered with precision and depth, reflecting the skill of an experienced factory painter.\u003cbr\u003eThe underside bears the authentic Royal Delft factory mark, the year code “F” corresponding to 1884, and the painter’s signature of P. J. Gerbrands, a listed decorator active at the factory in the late 19th century. These markings firmly establish the authenticity and historical significance of the piece.\u003cbr\u003eThe glaze shows a fine, even craquelure consistent with age, a characteristic feature of genuine antique Delftware. This vase remains in excellent condition and stands as a rare and collectible example of early Royal Delft production.\u003cbr\u003ePlease review all photos, as they are an integral part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"521\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"603\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"601\"\u003eProduct details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"655\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"1300\" data-start=\"1277\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHeight 10\", Width 6 1\/2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"705\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted Delftware ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"733\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles), Netherlands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"752\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"745\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1884 (Year Code: \"F\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"886\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"769\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marked on the underside with the Royal Delft factory mark, year code, and the initials of the artist P.
