Theebus, beschilderd met oudtestamentische en amoreuze scènes 1727

This 1727 tea caddy, created by Johannes Verhagen, is a fine example of Delftware, a type of tin-glazed earthenware produced in the Netherlands. The blue and white decoration, known as "Delft blue," features biblical and amorous scenes, characteristic of the period. The small size of the caddy, only 15 cm in height and 9 cm in width, suggests it was intended for personal use, likely within a domestic setting. This piece exemplifies the artistic talent of Dutch artisans during the 18th century.
