Delft Blue Ceramic Baluster Vase by De Delftse Pauw, Vintage Floral Urn (7.25")

This beautifully hand-painted ceramic vase is a fine example of traditional blue and white Delftware, showcasing a classic floral motif in rich cobalt tones gracefully applied over a white glazed surface. Crafted in Holland by the renowned De Delftse Pauw (Delft Peacock) pottery, the piece features an elegant baluster silhouette with a rounded body, a stable pedestal foot, and a flared neck that creates a timeless, dramatic profile. This mid-sized, charmingly proportioned decorative vessel serves as an ideal accent for display cabinets, mantel arrangements, or curated blue-and-white ceramics collections. The vase is in excellent vintage condition, featuring a wonderful all-over glaze craquelure that is entirely age-appropriate and beautifully attests to its authentic retro character, free from any structural chips or cracks. The underside bears the factory’s handwritten blue signature hallmarks, including the „D.P. Delft Holland” initials and the original pattern number 126.

Founded in 1954 in the historic city of Delft, De Delftse Pauw (known as the Delft Peacock) was an elite, traditional manufacturer dedicated exclusively to preserving the centuries-old art of hand-painting earthenware. Operating as an artisan-led studio rather than a mass-production factory, each piece was meticulously decorated by skilled painters who revived 17th-century Dutch potting heritage. Bringing together classic European design and grandmillennial character, this floral baluster vase represents a beautiful piece of mid-to-late 20th-century ceramic artistry.
