Description
Windmill scenes and a floral lid mark this Delfts Blauw sugar canister as a coordinated lidded piece.
The ceramic canister measures 12.5 cm high and 11.5 cm wide, with the word SUGAR placed above the painted windmill scenes. Its fitted lid carries a separate floral design. The base is marked Delfts Blauw, Hand painted, Made in Holland, Agro and 328 S. Those inscriptions identify the Agro name and state Holland as the origin, while no production date is confirmed. The blue and white decoration brings the vessel and lid together, and the labelled use gives the form a practical identity as well as a decorative one. The lidded shape is suited to a cabinet or kitchen display; no contents or storage use are inferred. The piece is recorded in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks noted.
