Hand van fontein in de vorm van een zittende man c. 1760 - 1775

This 18th-century Dutch fountain, created by De Klaauw, features a seated male figure in a richly decorated blue and yellow ensemble. The figure sits atop a multi-tiered base with a spout, suggesting its functional use as a water feature. The elaborate painted design, characterized by swirling patterns and floral motifs, showcases the artistry of Dutch tin-glazed earthenware, commonly known as Delftware. This miniature piece, measuring just 4.5 cm tall, would have been a prized decorative object in a Dutch home.
