Large blue and white fish colander Delft, 1725-1750

About the Item

Blue and white fish colander Delft, 1725-1750 The blue and white colander stands on three legs and has two round handles. Painted on the front are one large and twenty small fish, presumably bream. The back features an exuberant floral design, framed within a circle. Stripes are painted on the handles. Dimensions: diameter 34 cm/13.38 in., from handle to handle 42 cm/16.53 in., height 5,7 cm/2.24 in. Provenance: Axel Vervoordt, Antwerp, Belgium A colander with a decor of fifteen fish is in the collection of Historic Deerfield in Massachusetts in the United States Colanders in faience are based on specimens in lead-glazed earthenware that occur as early as the first half of the seventeenth century. Unpainted white colanders will have been made in the seventeenth century, but the blue-painted colanders all date from the eighteenth century. Miniature colanders are also known, these were intended as doll’s ware. Rim chips typical for Dutch Delftware. Three small glaze damages of the rim have been updated.
