Pair Antique Delft Hand-Painted Blue & White Vases are a splendid collectible that was created for the lucrative European market where the clay was treated with a tin solution before glazing resulting in a unique and highly desirable finish that lasts for centuries!  This pair features a charming transferware pattern that emphasizes the classic windmills that have achieved a legendary status in the region, surrounded by amazingly detailed bordering.  Cobalt blue coloration contrasts perfectly with the white of the porcelain.  Beautiful patterns inspired by nature exist all around each vase, so even if the back side is reflected in a mantel mirror, they're still just as beautiful from any angle!  The history of the Delft region has been discussed on this site many times.
Circa early 1900s
Each measures 12 x 6 in diameter
