Description :
This charming pair of blue and white lidded vases offers a beautifully decorative interpretation of traditional Delft pottery, distinguished by their octagonal silhouettes and richly hand-painted floral motifs. Each vase is adorned with an intricate palette of cobalt blues, ranging from deep inky tones to lighter, petal-like washes, creating a vibrant all-over pattern of flowers, scrolls, and stylized foliage. The tiered lids are particularly eye-catching, with their scalloped finials and octagonal collars that echo the unusual architectural form of the bodies.
Underside markings “J.V.” appear on both pieces, indicating a specific workshop or artisan. The vases also present authentic signs of age and use: small chips are visible along the upper rim and on a few edges, and one base shows a discreet firing imperfection—details that add to their antique character without detracting from their overall beauty or stability.
With their bold decorative presence, elegant blue-and-white palette, and distinctive form, these vases bring a refined European charm to consoles, mantels, or curated display cabinets. They work beautifully as standalone objects or as part of a larger grouping of Delft and faience pieces.
