Creamer with cover (part of a service) 1735 - 1745

This 18th-century creamer with cover, made by Dutch artist Cornelis Pronk, is an excellent example of Delftware pottery. It features a delicate, intricate design of a lattice pattern with stylized floral motifs painted in blue and red on a white tin-glazed background. The creamer is a testament to Pronk’s skill and the popularity of Dutch Delftware, which drew inspiration from East Asian porcelain. The creamer, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, exemplifies the enduring appeal of Delftware, which continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its exquisite craftsmanship and decorative artistry.
