Water kettle c. 1778 - 1782

This 18th-century porcelain water kettle, crafted by Loosdrecht, is a fine example of Dutch decorative arts. The kettle's rounded body is adorned with a vibrant floral motif, showcasing a rich palette of colors, including red, yellow, and blue. The intricate details and delicate brushwork highlight the skill of the artist, while the woven wicker handle adds a touch of rustic charm. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Dutch craftsmanship and the beauty of everyday objects.
