Delft Blue and White Chinoiserie Faience Vase Mounted as a Lamp
About the Item
17th Century Dutch Delft Octagonal Faience Vase mounted in brass and decorated with a chinoiserie décor of fighting warriors and exotic landscape. The dimensions indicated herein are those of the vase with the fittings and lampshade. The mounted vase only is approximately 10in. high and 7in. diameter.
The arrival in Western Europe of the first shiploads of Chinese porcelain, lacquerware, ivory and silk in the 17th century stimulated interest in China, or Cathay, as it was then called. Europeans soon began copying the Chinese artworks and decorative objects. These decorative arts inspired by China, which enjoyed their heyday in the late 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries, are known as chinoiserie.
Soon after the introduction of expensive Chinese porcelain in the Netherlands, a demand arose for an attractive and affordable alternative. During the third quarter of the seventeenth century, Delft potters were able to expand the production of very refined faience for the higher end of the market. In order to compete with Chinese porcelain, it was vital that the potters not only created pieces with a similar outward appearance, but that they also faithfully copied both the exotic shapes and the decoration of the successive Chinese stylistic periods.
Our vase is an attractive example of such a trend.
