Lot #686: NETHERLANDS Painted Delft Blue Trinket Boxes – Dutch-Inspired Blue & White Pottery

Charming collection of seven Delft Blue and Delft-style ceramic trinket boxes, each with its own shape and hand-decorated blue-and-white design. The assortment includes round, oval and heart-shaped covered boxes along with an especially eye-catching Dutch canal-house form. Traditional motifs include windmills, florals, bows and classic cobalt-blue decoration. Several pieces are specifically marked “Hand Painted Delft Blue,” while the collection also includes examples marked by Hutschenreuther, Germany, and D.A.I.C. This is therefore best described as a Delft Blue/Delft-style collection from multiple makers, rather than attributing the entire group to one Delft pottery. Pickup category timeslot {C}
