This cylindrical covered jar on foot with precious objects and antiquities, dated c. 1700-1724, is an example of Delftware, a type of tin-glazed earthenware produced in Delft, Netherlands. The blue and white decoration, characteristic of Delftware, depicts intricate patterns of precious objects and antiquities, showcasing the fascination with exotic goods during this period. The jar's elegant form, with its delicate foot and two ornate handles, reflects the refined taste of the time. Now housed at the Rijksmuseum, the piece serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and artistic flourishment of Dutch ceramics during the 18th century.
