About the Item

A pair of 18th-century Dutch Delftware bowls, hand-painted in cobalt blue on tin-glazed white faience, inspired by Chinese porcelain and the Chinoiserie style. Each bowl has a flaring wall and rests on a straight foot. The exterior is divided into five panels, each filled with floral motifs. The spaces between panels are decorated with elegant tracery, reflecting the intricate design vocabulary of 18th-century Dutch faience. The interior of each bowl features a stylized Daoist symbol, further emphasizing the influence of East Asian decorative motifs on Dutch Delftware. Unmarked. Condition: Good overall, with minor wear and slight chipping to the rims; one small chip has been professionally reglued. Dimensions: Width: 23 cm (9.06 in) Height: 12 cm (4.72 in) Dutch Delft factories produced bowls for both everyday use and decoration. Functional bowls were usually left plain or painted with simple motifs, while elaborately decorated bowls such as these were typically displayed as ornamental pieces, often atop cabinets.

Pair of Antique Kangxi Bowls Amsterdams Bont Blue White, 18 C

Pair of Antique Kangxi Bowls Amsterdams Bont Blue White, 18 C

Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland

Real collectors items. Sharing with you this fantastic pair of two Kangxi period bowls. The original blue and white bowls are close to identical, but 1 of the bowls is later overdecorated in Europe with enamel in green, red, yellow and black. Highly interesting to see how the underglaze blue bowl transformed into what we call an Amsterdam Bont bowl. We take a look at Amsterdams Bont porcelain from China. A relatively unknown niche of Chinese porcelain from ca 1680-1740 that was partly decorated in Europe. Because mainstream Chinese collectors have yet to discover the historical significance of these wares they are relatively easy to find in Holland. While also being highly interesting and of often super quality and with an amazing array of decorations. Amsterdams Bont is a name given to porcelain partly decorated in the Netherlands (most likely in cities like Delft, Haarlem, Makkum). Because Amsterdam was at this moment in time the trade centre of the western world and also of the porcelain trade a lot of this over enamelling was probably commissioned by Amsterdam merchants, to reap higher profits on otherwise boring Chinese wares. The name Amsterdam Bont probably derives from the fact that these type of decorated ware was sold by Amsterdam Merchants. Amsterdam Bont consists of either blanc or under glaze blue decorated Chinese porcelain of basic quality, that was later enhanced with red and sometimes other colours in the Netherlands. It must not be mistaken for other type of Chinese & Japanese blanc wares decorated in Europe. Those we simply call European Decorated Chinese porcelain...
