Antique signed blue and white enamel glazed Delft box. Dutch, made 18th century or before. <BR>Measures 3 3/4inches long and 3inches wide. 2 inches high.<BR>Entire outer surface is beautifully handpainted in charming scenes of a courting couple, typical Dutch water and landscapes with windmills, yaghts, boats and little houses amidst prettily painted trees, each vignette seperated from the others by scrolling and floral patterns. Fine art work. Metal mount may be silver, but it is too old to be sure. Hinged lid with hinge in good condition. Underneath, box is signed in blue with AK. Signature is similar to at least 2 found in WM Chaffers book on marks, page 273:#33 and #3 for Adrianus Kocks, 1687 and Albrecht de Keizer, 1642, respectively. <BR>Condition is very good. There is a very shallow surface scratch in the enamel underneath the box. It looks as though the metal has been re-attached in 2 small spots inside the lid, and there are 1-2 negligible rough spots underneath the bottom of the box. The visible portion of the box is in excellent condition with no damage of any sort to be seen, as is ceramic inside of the box.
