{"product_id":"de-delftse-pauw-polychrome-vase-hand-painted-1970s","title":"Vintage Hand-Painted Delft Polychrome Vase – De Delftse Pauw Holland","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"432\" data-start=\"50\"\u003eThis striking vintage \u003cstrong\u003eceramic vase\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out with its unique, squat silhouette, featuring a wide body and a prominent, oversized handle. Crafted by the renowned Dutch factory De Delftse Pauw in Delft, this piece dates back to the second half of the 20th century, likely the 1970s. Unlike later productions, this earlier exemplar is undated, as the factory only introduced year coding in the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003eThe vase is beautifully hand-painted in a vibrant polychrome palette, decorated with traditional Dutch floral motifs. A visible crackle glaze (crazing) covers the surface, characteristic of authentic vintage Delftware, adding a layer of historical soul to the piece. It remains in excellent vintage condition with no damage, making it a sophisticated addition to any collection of European ceramics or a unique focal point for a classic interior.\u003cbr\u003ePlease review photos, as they are an integral part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"432\" data-start=\"50\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"685\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"685\"\u003eProduct details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"950\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"739\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 5 1\/2\"× Diameter 6″ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"739\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"756\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted Delftware ceramic \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(Polychrome)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"739\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"803\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delft, \u003cspan\u003eHolland\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"739\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"825\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSecond half of the 20th century, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCirca 1970s\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"739\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"857\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFully signed on the bottom with factory marks and artist's initials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"739\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eExcellent vintage condition; no chips or cracks; authentic visible crazing throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"366\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"366\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDe Delftse Pauw \u003c\/strong\u003e(The Delft Peacock) is one of the few remaining historic pottery factories in the Netherlands that continues the centuries-old tradition of entirely hand-painted Delftware. Its heritage dates back to the 17th century, though it has operated in its modern form as a specialized art studio since the mid-20th century.\u003cbr\u003eThe factory is highly regarded for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship; unlike many mass-producers, De Delftse Pauw does not use transfer-ware techniques (decals). Instead, every pattern is meticulously applied by brush by master ceramicists. The iconic peacock symbol in the hallmark serves as a guarantee of authenticity and superior artistic quality.\u003cbr\u003eNotably, the factory only introduced a systematic year-coding system in the 1990s. Pieces featuring the full factory mark and artist's initials without a date code are typically attributed to the 1970s and 1980s, representing a prized era of contemporary Dutch faience focused on individual artistry and rich polychrome palettes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artemis Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42532735582302,"sku":"2040528","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/5807\/8302\/files\/Vintage_Hand-Painted_Delft_Polychrome_Vase_De_Delftse_Pauw_1.jpg?v=1778161372","url":"https:\/\/artemisrow.com\/products\/de-delftse-pauw-polychrome-vase-hand-painted-1970s","provider":"Artemis Row","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
