Royal Delft Polychrome hand-painted garniture set, De Porceleyne Fles, Holland

An elegant three-piece garniture set produced by Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles) in the Netherlands, featuring two matching vases and a lidded central jar in richly decorated traditional Dutch polychrome style. Entirely hand-painted, the set displays vibrant floral motifs inspired by 17th–18th century Delft and Imari traditions, with deep cobalt blue, iron red, green, yellow, and black detailing over a luminous white tin-glazed earthenware body.

Founded in 1653 in Delft, De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles remains the oldest surviving Delftware factory and is internationally regarded as the highest standard of authentic Delft ceramics. Unlike mass-produced transferware, pieces marked “Handpainted Holland” were individually painted by trained in-house artists, often requiring years of apprenticeship. The painter’s initials and year codes on the base allow precise dating and attribution within the Royal Delft archive system.

Your set belongs to the factory’s highly collectible polychrome line, which is notably rarer than classic blue-and-white Delftware. The hand-painted decoration reflects the continuation of historic Dutch ceramic traditions adapted for 20th century decorative interiors. The painter’s initials appear to correspond to L. van Bos / L. v.d. Bos, a Royal Delft painter active from 1961–2009, whose initials “LvB” are documented on multiple authenticated Royal Delft pieces.
