Two beaker vases and a lidded jar, part of a garniture c. 1700

This blue and white lidded jar, part of a garniture, was made in the Netherlands around 1700 by De Drie Posteleyne Astonne. The jar features a stylized tree with flowers and leaves in a cobalt blue glaze, reflecting the trend of imitating Chinese porcelain. The design was likely inspired by 17th-century Chinese export wares, known for their intricate patterns and vibrant blue color. This decorative piece exemplifies the Dutch fascination with Asian aesthetics during the Golden Age.
