Bierkroes op de Tentoonstelling van oudheden in Delft before 1863

This photograph by A.L. Oversluijs, taken before 1863, depicts a "Bierkroes" (beer mug) from the exhibition of antiquities in Delft. The mug is a fine example of Dutch Delftware, featuring a white glazed background and stylized blue decorations including floral motifs, a winged eagle, and the inscription "Trein in Gott". This type of pottery, known for its decorative and often religious themes, was popular in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Dutch craftsmanship and the appreciation of historical artifacts in the 19th century.
