Antique Dutch Delft Vase Pair | Blue and White | c. 1700
Some pieces ask you to slow down and look a little closer. This pair does exactly that. These antique Delft vases carry the painted Kam mark of Pieter Kam, linking them to De Drie Posteleyne Astonne, one of the important Delft workshops of the early 18th century.
Produced during the brief Astonne period, roughly between 1700 and 1722, they have already lived through more than three centuries and still retain the elegance that made Delftware one of Europe's most sought-after ceramics.
The vases are beautifully balanced. Each vase rises from an octagonal foot into a classic baluster body, accented by sculpted floral rosettes and flowing lambrequin drapery at the shoulder.
The hand-painted decoration is exactly what you hope to find on early Delft. A basket overflowing with flowers, the blue sitting vividly against the soft light blue tin-glazed background. There is an ease to the painting that only comes from a workshop working at a very high level. Time has left its marks as well: losses around the rims, chips at the feet, areas of glaze wear, and the absence of the original lids. None of it diminishes the presence of the pair. If anything, it reinforces their authenticity.
What I find remarkable is that they have remained together. Pieces of this age were separated, broken, restored, and dispersed countless times over the centuries. Yet here they are, still standing together as a true pair.
Whether placed on a console, flanking a mantel or being used to hold flowers, they are simply stunning. The cobalt still provides depth on the surface when the light reaches it, just as it did three hundred years ago. Exceptional Delftware has a way of doing that.
