This 17th-century, anonymous Dutch Delftware jar showcases the popularity of "chinoiserie" in Europe. The intricate hand-painted design of a continuous water landscape and a pavilion in the style of East Asian art is a testament to the fascination with the exotic in 17th-century Holland. The ovoid shape of the jar, along with the vibrant blue, green, red, and yellow colors used, are typical of this popular type of decorative ware. While its exact use is unknown, this exquisite example of Delftware is a wonderful reminder of the interconnectedness of cultures and the appreciation for beauty across time and space.
