A Delftware bottle vase, Dutch or possibly English, circa 1670

Of triple-gourd shape, finely painted in blue with sprays of flowers and foliage surrounded by birds and various winged insects, 22.5cm high

Footnotes

Compare to the cylindrical tankard dated 1669 illustrated by Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p.171, fig.769, where the animated style of the birds and the blousy nature of the floral sprays bears a particularly close resemblance to those on the vase in the present lot. A Brislington vase of double-gourd shape is illustrated by Garry Atkins, An Exhibition of English Pottery (2003), no.14.
