This is a rare and unusual Delft Blue and White Figural Bellows Wall Pocket, made in the late 19th Century in Holland. The modeling, decor, and glaze are masterfully done with typical colors of Delft style pottery: creamy white background decorated with bright dark blue. The item is shaped as a small set of fireplace bellows; there are two small holes in the back to hang it up on the wall. The décor is of a windmill and sailboat and relief scrolls in the central reserve. A central mask of a fantastic man with beard is on the front top of the piece, a mask of an exotic beast, possibly a dog, is on the bottom, both in relief. The entire wall pocket is glazed; the design is quite complex. The backside is marked in under glaze blue with a CA mark and 162. Delft faience was a famous art pottery technique whereby tin glazes and decorations are applied over modeled terra cotta clay forms, and fired several times in a kiln. Dimensions (in inches): 8.4 Tall X 3.9 Wide X 2.3 Deep. Weight 1 Lbs. 3.5 Oz. Date: The date is circa 19th Century. The backside has been professionally restored to conceal rust marks; otherwise, the item is in very good condition other than firing flaws and minor wear; there have been no other repairs or restorations. Shipping and Insurance USPS Priority Mail within the U.S. is $12.00. Thanks for bidding!
