EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century bottle hails from the renowned Dutch city of Delft, famous for its intricately decorated blue and white pottery. The bottle is adorned with vibrant blue peacocks and flowers against a pristine white ground, a classic motif in Delftware. This image is not a photograph, but rather a hand-finished chromolithograph from the "Histoire Générale de la Faience Ancienne Française et Étrangère" or "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," published by Ris Paquet in Paris in 1874. Chromolithography is a printing technique that emerged in the mid-19th century, allowing for the production of detailed, colorful images. This process involved the transfer of color from lithographic stones onto paper using a water-based ink. The intricate details of the peacocks and flowers on this bottle are a testament to the skill of the lithographers who painstakingly created this work of art. The bottle itself, though not present in the print, would have been made using traditional Delftware techniques, with the blue pigment applied over a white ground and then glazed to create the iconic, shimmering effect. This beautiful print not only provides a glimpse into the rich history of Delftware, but also showcases the artistry and innovation of the chromolithographic process.
