Charming vintage duo in fine earthenware with a white background, adorned with a painted decoration in shades of green-turquoise in the tradition of Delft style: a double-gourd vase with a flared neck and a small covered pot with a knob, both decorated with floral scrolls, friezes, and finely drawn geometric patterns. The green-turquoise colour, rarer than the classic Delft blue, gives these pieces a particular freshness and originality. Both pieces bear a handwritten mark on the reverse featuring the word "Delfs" accompanied by letters and a model number — attesting to Dutch manufacture from the second half of the 20th century, although a precise attribution to a known factory cannot be established with certainty. The shapes — double gourd with neck and covered pot — are part of the classic repertoire of ceramics inspired by Chinese designs popularised by Dutch manufacturers since the 17th century and continued to this day.
