Delft Blue Lidded Vase (Royal Delft – Porceleyne Fles)

This Delft Blue lidded vase was manufactured in 1963 at De Porceleyne Fles in Delft. The vase is hand-painted: flowers and a bird are depicted on the vase. On the bottom is the mark of De Porceleyne Fles: an apothecary jar with the initials JT intertwined underneath (these stand for Joost Thooft, owner of the company in 1876). Below the bottle is the word ‘Delft’ with a curly capital letter D. On the left are the painter’s initials: DVG (H. Seman), the year code CH (1963) and the model number 1813.

Interior advice
This Delft Blue lidded vase fits both a classic and a modern interior. For example, you can place it on a bar, TV cabinet or in a bookcase. The height of the lidded vase, 35.5 cm, makes it perfect for many types of (silk) bouquets.
