Description
The tall neck, pouring spout and loop handle give this small windmill ewer a recognisable jug-like profile.
Its rounded ceramic body rises into a tall neck and shaped spout, with a loop handle completing the ewer form. Blue windmill decoration sits on a white ground. The underside is inscribed Delfts Holland and 419, which states an origin but does not identify a specific pottery or date. At 17 cm high and 10 cm wide, it is a compact display vessel whose silhouette gives the painted landscape vertical emphasis. The term ewer describes the form; no functional use is assumed. The blue and white decoration has a Delfts character, but that appearance alone does not prove a particular workshop. The item is recorded in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks noted, and the underside inscription remains its principal identification evidence. The compact ewer form and windmill scene make this a clear example of marked Delfts Holland decoration. Related pieces include Delft Blue Hand-Painted Windmill Ewer and Delfts Coloured Holland Windmill Jug. Further collector context appears in the Journal’s How to Style Blue and White Porcelain in a Modern Home.
