Vaas van faience c. 1690 - 1710

This faience vase, created by De Paauw sometime between 1690 and 1710, is a prime example of Dutch delftware. The blue and white design on the vase, featuring floral patterns, demonstrates the popularity of Chinoiserie during this period. The vase's round shape and slender neck were inspired by Chinese porcelain, which was highly sought after in Europe at the time. The piece is currently on display in the Rijksmuseum, providing insight into the craftsmanship and aesthetic trends of 17th-century Holland.
