This charming Dutch Delft garniture comprises the traditional five pieces: two beaker vases and three baluster-form jars with covers. Made in the mid to late 19th century, it reflects the enduring Delft tradition and the 19th-century revival of 18th-century pastoral decoration. Each piece is hand-painted with a romantic countryside scene showing a shepherdess seated beneath a large tree, her sheep grazing in a meadow that stretches toward a church steeple and distant castle. The artist used a harmonious palette of two blues, green, yellow, iron red, and manganese to create a warm and atmospheric composition. Each scene is framed within a molded cartouche painted in bright yellow and manganese with floral accents at the top and base. The reverse sides display leafy branches and blossoms, providing decorative continuity throughout the set. Each cover bears a painted yellow flower and is surmounted by a lion finial—a traditional Delft emblem that remained popular throughout the 19th century. Several pieces are marked HB in blue on the underside. Dimensions: The covered vases are 15″ tall x 7″ wide x 4.25″ deep at the base. The open vases are 10″ tall x 5.5″ wide x 3.75″ deep at the base.Condition: ExcellentPrice: $2,100Decoration: Hand-painted pastoral scenes within molded polychrome cartouchesMaterial: Tin-glazed earthenwareStyle: Dutch Delft RevivalOrigin: NetherlandsDate: Circa 1860–1870 Notable Details:• Traditional five-piece garniture: three covered jars and two beaker vases• Hand-painted pastoral scenes with shepherdess, church, and castle• Vibrant 19th-century Delft color palette with yellow, manganese, and red• Molded cartouches with floral accents and detailed reverse decoration• Lion finials typical of Delft revival pieces from the late 19th century• Several pieces marked HB in blue beneath the base
