Hand painted in Holland, it shows a windmill scene on one side and floral decoration on the other, each brushstroke adding softness and character. It stands at approximately 22 cm tall and 10.5 cm wide, with a gentle flare towards the rim that gives it a balanced and graceful shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003eMade from glazed ceramic in classic Delft blue, this piece reflects the long history of Dutch decorative art. The mark to the base confirms it as hand painted Delft, produced in the mid twentieth century when traditional techniques were still used to recreate the designs first made in the seventeenth century. The palette has a calm clarity, with the cobalt blue painting sitting warmly against the white glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003eThe vase is in lovely condition with very light signs of age. There are small glaze irregularities expected in hand finished pottery, but no chips or cracks. The paintwork remains clear and the surface retains its gentle sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003eThis is a versatile piece that works well as a display object or as a vase for flowers. It pairs beautifully with white linens, natural foliage and simple botanical arrangements. It can sit on a console or windowsill, or be grouped with other blue and white ceramics for a layered and collected look. The imagery of boats, flowers and windmills adds a sense of place and story, making the vase feel both decorative and familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1883\"\u003eWhether used to hold fresh flowers, dried hydrangeas or left unfilled, this Delft vase brings a touch of European ceramic tradition into the home and remains as appealing today as when it was first painted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Blue Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52677443912007,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/3921\/9015\/files\/4DA886B7-680E-4029-A42D-57B256406D3E.jpg?v=1762208514","url":"https:\/\/www.theblueloft.co.uk\/products\/blue-delph-hand-painted-vase","provider":"The Blue Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
