Dear Smelo, This is an original Delft vase, 1690-1700 or even a bit earlier. A nice and interesting piece. Unfortunately the lid is missing.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. Read more
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more

This is a very beautiful, late 17th century vase. The model with the lion heads and guirlandes in relief is only seen on a limited number of objects. As Mr. Van Drecht mentioned, this vase would originally have had a cover, which sadly went missing. However like this you may make it into a lamp, without worrying where to store the cover. In the attached image, see a vase that we had years ago, but about half the size of big 😃
