This earthenware vase has an exceptional shape and decoration. While produced in Delft, the vase has the appearance of a Chinese porcelain vase. The shape of the vase can be recognized as Meiping. This typical Chinese shape has a narrow base that elegantly spreads into a wide body and then more promptly ends to a narrow and short neck. In China traditionally these vases were used for showing plum blossom. On this vase, agile Chinese figures are shown giving it a dynamic appearance. These figures are surrounded by branches of plume trees and other chinoiserie details.
This beautiful decoration clearly shows elements of the Transitional period (1621-1661). First the grass around the Chinese figures, represented by elegant small kind of waves typically refers to the Transitional period. Also, the patters on the lower base can be found on Transitional period vases. However, the specific appearance and style of the Chinese figures, and the combination with blossom tree and other branches are a European interpretation. Overall, this vase is a unique piece of early delftware due to its size, beautiful shape and chinoiserie decoration with clear Transitional elements.
