Delft Blue Trumpet Vase (Royal Delft – Porceleyne Fles)

This Delft Blue trumpet vase was manufactured in 1963 at the Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft) in Delft. The vase is hand-painted: floral motifs and flies are depicted on the vase.

Below the bottle is the word ‘Delft’ with a curly capital letter D. On the left are the painter’s initials: GKO (G. Koolhaas), the year code CH (1963) and the model number 1799.
