Description
Pink blossoms, green foliage and blue and burgundy accents give this cup-and-saucer set its lively polychrome character.
The cup and saucer carry hand-painted flowers, black dot details and fine brown linework. A small windmill landscape cartouche decorates the cup, and the saucer provides a coordinated ground for the floral design. The visible cup base reads ‘Delfts’, ‘Polychroom’ and ‘Holland’. This records the marked Delfts polychrome description and stated origin, but it does not name a pottery or factory. The set is catalogued from the decoration and stamp, without attributing it to Royal Delft, Gouda or another unverified producer. The glaze shows visible crazing, light age-related staining, surface wear, rubbing to painted and gold-coloured detail, and a small dark speck or stain inside the cup.
