About the Artwork

Decorated with a lively variety of stylized flowers, insects, and birds, this matching set, or garniture, of ceramics, reflects the Dutch interest in Chinese porcelain in the seventeenth century. The base of each work bears the insignia of the De Paauw (The Peacock) manufactory, accompanied by a D that likely refers to Petronella van Dijssel, a businesswoman in the city of Delft who was full owner of the factory by 1680. De Paauw took its name from the peacock emblazoned on the workshop's facade; in this set, their signature showy birds are represented hiding among the flora. By incorporating motifs from Chinese porcelain, makers of Delfware like van Dijssel responded to the international tastes and global trade networks that brought prosperity to the Dutch Republic.
