Delft Style Pitcher - Classic Floral Motif

A very charming Delft style pitcher featuring a traditional floral motif, elegantly accented with a decorative handle and spout. This signed Dutch piece from the second half of the 20th century showcases the distinctive craftsmanship and timeless design typical of Delftware ceramics.

Delft ceramics, also known as Delftware, is a type of hand-painted tin-glazed earthenware that has been produced since the 17th century in the Dutch city of Delft. Inspired by Chinese porcelain, it is characterized by a white tin glaze with decorations, most often in shades of blue (known as Delft Blue), depicting Dutch scenes, floral motifs, and biblical imagery. It was made in the form of plates, vases, tiles, and jugs. The most famous still-operating manufacturer is Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles). Delftware differs from true porcelain in its material (earthenware), hand-painted decoration, and often the presence of factory marks or date codes on the underside.
