This exquisite blue and white Dutch Delft vase was crafted in the late 17th century.
Its excellent chinoiserie decoration epitomizes 17th-century Europe’s fascination with Chinese porcelain.
The vase’s design features delicate hand-painted scenes in cobalt blue beneath a light gray-blue glaze.
The vase is adorned with a continuous motif of Chinese scholars depicted in various contemplative settings.
The scenes illustrate a pair of scholars in dialogue: a scholar seated on a terrace accompanied by two attendants and another scholar resting near a pine tree, absorbed in nature.
In Chinese symbolism, the pine tree represents discipline, moral integrity, longevity, and resilience. Its inclusion here underscores the esteemed qualities of the scholars portrayed.
The vase’s neck features a pattern of stiff leaves, symbolic of strength, durability, and the capacity to endure.
This detail not only enhances the vase’s aesthetic appeal but also reinforces its symbolic significance.
Dimensions: 14″ tall x 6.5″ diameter at widest point x 5″ diameter at base
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,400
The intricate chinoiserie scenes of scholars, complemented by the symbolic pine tree and the resilient leaf motifs, highlight the vase’s blend of aesthetic beauty and meaningful symbolism.
