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. The sailing scene and green fan motifs distinguish this jug for collectors of Delfts Holland ceramics, maritime pottery or hand-painted Dutch jugs. Related pieces include Delfts Coloured Holland Windmill Jug and Delfts Holland Blue-and-White Windmill Ewer. Further collector context appears in the Journal’s How to Style Blue and White Porcelain in a Modern Home.
