Description
A sailing boat on blue water gives this coloured Delfts Holland jug a clear maritime subject.
The ceramic jug combines a curved handle, pinched pouring lip and shaped flared rim with green fan motifs and a hand-painted sailing scene. Its base is marked 33, ‘Delft’, ‘Coloured’ and ‘Holland’, with a small crown device. The stamp records the wording and stated origin but does not name a pottery or factory. The piece is described as Delfts Holland ware from its visible mark and decoration, without assigning a maker or date that the mark does not establish. The surface shows glaze crazing, age-related wear around the base and staining near the foot rim, which remain visible in the product photographs.
