$700

About

Decorate a mantel, console table, or bookshelf with this elegant pair of vintage Dutch Delft-style vases. Crafted in Holland circa 1940, the tall ceramic vessels feature graceful, elongated bodies with gently flared rims and slightly scalloped edges, creating a refined and balanced silhouette. Each vase is beautifully decorated in the traditional cobalt blue and white Delft palette, with intricate floral and foliate motifs throughout.

The front of each vase features a large oval medallion depicting a charming Dutch pastoral landscape, with a farmer guiding horses along a country road, surrounded by trees and distant scenery. The detailed rural scenes are framed by elaborate scrollwork, stylized flowers, and decorative borders inspired by traditional Dutch Delftware. The upper sections are embellished with bold floral motifs and scrolling foliage, while the bases feature coordinating ornamental designs.

Both vases bear the manufacturer’s blue stamp underneath, identifying Société Céramique of Maastricht, Holland, a historic Dutch pottery manufacturer known for its decorative ceramics and tableware. The pair is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, retaining its crisp blue decoration and attractive glazed finish.

These decorative vases would make a wonderful addition to a collection of blue and white ceramics. Display them together on a mantel or sideboard, or separately on matching consoles to create a symmetrical arrangement in a traditional or country French interior.

Dimensions: 12.75″H each.
