Kop, beschilderd met strooibloemen en bladeren c. 1780 - 1784

This small, blue and white cup, known as a "kop," is a fine example of Dutch Delftware. Created by the Loosdrecht workshop around 1780-1784, the cup is decorated with a simple yet elegant design of stylized flowers, a common motif in Delftware. The cup's small size and delicate decoration suggest it was intended for personal use, perhaps for tea or coffee. Today, the piece is preserved in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic Dutch ceramic tradition.
