Delft basket with lid, made in the first half of the 18th Century. Most likely around 1730-1745. There are other examples know, such as one with biblical verses and one in De Rijksmuseum Amsterdam collection attributed to factory De Paeuw, dated with ‘1740’. On the inside of the latter example, there is a decoration of a comb, a hairpin and spunges(?). It is a well known attribute in the household as a receptacle for a dressing table. The pierced parts are to resemble lace and the handles to resemble cord. Information was found in book Delffse Porceleyne - Dutch Delftware 1620-1850 by Jan Daniel van Dam, available in English or Dutch.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. Read more
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • No mark visible No mark is visible in the photos. If it is present, please add some extra photos of the bottom or the back of the object.
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more

What else can I contribute after Jeroens' enthusiastic reaction? It is wonderful your basket is still intact and complete. The decorations painted on this basket are derived from Chinese porcelain, also known as a chinoiserie.The typical Chinese garden with a pagoda was a popular image for the delftware painters. In our Delftsaardewerk-database I found multiple baskets in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. I would like to compare your version with this unmarked basket dated 1730-1745. Unfortunately its lid is missing. 

 

Wonderful Suzanne, thanks a lot! Another example from, I believe, De Kunstmuseum in The Hague???
