	Item #: 11-522-0 WOW Antique Polychrome Delft Ginger Jar Vase Lion OUD Comment: The lion ornament and vibrant colors on this very high-quality, old piece makes it a must-have for your collection. This one is very heavy Mark: OUD Oud Delft (1920 - today) The Elshout family has owned Oud Delft since its founding by Roelof Elshout in 1920. The factory later passed to his brother Hugo Elshout, and then eventually to Hugo's daughter, Cora Elshout, in 1988. Oud Delft has its roots in the Potterie Rembrandt in Nijmegen, but later moved to Waddinxveen when the company was incorporated into Aardewerkfabriek `t Delftsche Huys B.V. in 1996. Oud Delft has always had a slightly different look from the rest of Modern Delftware as the factory uses an opaque white glaze to mimic a tin-glazed look. The company specializes in good quality, hand-painted decorative pieces in blue & white and polychrome. The polychrome palette includes light and dark yellow, light and dark blue, olive-green and brownish purple. Oud Delft used a hand-painted mark featuring a stylized potter's wheel under the letters OUD until 1967. Since 1968, Oud Delft has used a similar printed mark and focuses on the decaling process with hand-painted accents.

Subject Keywords: Lion Object: Ginger Jar Origin: Holland Dimensions (inches:) 14H x 8W x 8D Date: 1900 Condition: AVERAGE In overall average condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature are used items and will show signs of normal wear due to age and use. As we define 'average condition' relative the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see quite a few 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include significant nicks or dings to a wooden or metal object, significant wear to a painted surface, speckling on a mirror, crazing or manufacturing glaze skips in ceramic finish, significant wear to a label, and original decorative trim may be missing. If ceramic/porcelain restoration has been done, it is of museum-quality so that it is hardly discernable and would be mentioned in the listing. Average condition may also include chips or cracks, which may or may not be noted in the listing. Item Specifics: There are chips inside the rim and a chip on the bottom rim due to age and use. Material: CERAMIC The word ceramics originates from the ancient Greek word keramikos, meaning potter's clay. The practice of making ceramics has been in existence for nearly 30,000 years. Clay, the primary ingredient for any ceramic, is primarily made of aluminum silicate, which is a malleable soil from crumbling rocks. Ceramics can be grouped according to the type of clay used, the temperature at which the clay is fired, and the duration of the firing. Misc1: Hand-Painted Style: Polychrome Delft DELFTWARE The European craze for blue and white Chinese export porcelain in the 17th century lead to the development of the Dutch East India Company, which imported millions of pieces of Chinese porcelain as well as other Chinese wares. In 1620, the death of Wan-Li (Ming Dynasty) interrupted the flow of goods to Europe. Dutch potters from the city of Delft quickly filled the gap in the market with their own production of blue and white ceramics that duplicated the look of Chinese export porcelain by using the tin-glazing technique learned from the Italians. The Delft potters were the first northerners to imitate the tin-glazed earthenware pottery of Italian majolica, or faience. Production of Delftware proliferated and by 1700 there were more than 30 factories in production of high-quality pieces in the city of Delft. Delftware drew on Chinese designs for inspiration, but also developed European patterns. Decorative plates were made in abundance and featured native Dutch scenes with windmills and fishing boats, hunting scenes, landscapes, seascapes, and scenes of people in daily life. When Chinese exports re-entered the European market by 1685, they came back in color, especially in greens and pinks. This sparked the production of Polychrome Delft, which refers to the use of colors other than blue and white. Besides the popular cobalt blue on a white background, Delft potters had a full color range that consisted of yellow, orange, brown, green, purple, dark red, and black. Despite the huge success of Delftware manufacturers, the market for Delftware eroded through the 18th century until eventually only one factory in Delft remained in existence. Joost Thooft bought the last remaining Delftware factory, De Porceleyne Fles, in 1876. Since that time, over one hundred potteries have come back into existence producing what is known as modern Delftware, which no longer uses the tin glazing method of majolica. In the period from 1876 to 1940, many high-quality, beautiful pieces of Delftware were produced. The transfer printing process was also brought back at this time. After World War II, tourism began to play a larger role in the Dutch economy. More Delftware companies opened in the 1950s to 1970s, specializing in pieces made for the tourist trade. Delftware has been produced in Holland, Belgium, Germany, England, Japan, and the US, and is still in production today.
