This Delftware vase, created by De Drie Posteleyne Astonne around 1740-1760, showcases the popular Chinoiserie style that swept Europe in the 18th century. The piece, featuring an octagonal body, is adorned with a vibrant blue and white design. The imagery, including figures and landscape elements, evokes a romanticized vision of China, demonstrating the fascination with the East during this period. These decorative vases were often used in domestic settings as part of elaborate garnitures, reflecting the taste for refined and exotic objects.

Garnitures were extremely popular decorative elements in 18th-century Dutch interiors, where they were placed on cabinets or buffets. Although the forms of some garnitures evolved with the times, popular models, like this set with decorations inspired by Chinese porcelain, remained in production for many decades.
