This pair of Delft blue and white antique lidded jars, marked for The Claw** and dating to circa 1820, is hand-painted in the traditional Delft style. Each jar features a cover topped with the classic Delft Bird and Ball finial, a hallmark of Dutch workshop tradition. The bodies are gracefully modeled, rising from a shaped foot to a well-balanced shoulder and neck that frame the fitted lids. The main decoration is the celebrated Delft Peacock pattern, in which fanned fern fronds spread outward in a manner recalling a peacock’s unfolding tail, a motif prized for its symmetry and beauty. The cobalt palette is rich and consistent, with carefully composed foliate scrolls completing the design.
