Deksel van theepot, blauw-wit gemarmerd c. 1780

This teapot lid, created by Jacobus de Caluwe around 1780, is a striking example of Dutch Delftware. The marbled glaze, a technique popularized in the 18th century, features a vibrant blue and white pattern against a rich brown background. The small size and intricate details of the lid suggest it was crafted for a domestic setting, adding a touch of elegance to daily tea rituals. This piece highlights the skill and artistry of Dutch ceramicists, particularly in the use of glazes to create captivating surface effects.
