Delft Shoe 1720

This pair of Delftware shoes, dating back to 1720, were likely used as decorative objects. Created by an anonymous artist, the shoes showcase a colorful array of blue, white, red, and green floral patterns, typical of Delftware. The detailed designs and high heels reflect the fashion trends of the period. This unique artwork, currently at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, demonstrates the versatility of Delftware as a medium for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
