Pot (zonder deksel) c. 1690 - 1710

This Delftware pot, produced by the workshop De Drie Posteleyne Astonne around 1690-1710, is a beautiful example of Dutch blue and white ceramics. The pot is decorated with a dense and intricate pattern of stylized flowers, leaves, and birds, all painted in cobalt blue on a white background. This style of decoration, known as "Chinese taste," was popular in the Netherlands during this period, reflecting the influence of imported Chinese porcelain.
