Four Dutch majolica Albarelli from the 17th centur

Four Dutch majolica Albarelli from the 17th century.

From left to right: Available - Sold - Sold - Sold.

An albarello is a type of majolica earthenware jar, originally a medicinal jar designed to hold apothecaries’ ointments and dry drugs. The development of this type of pharmacy jar had its roots in the Middle East. Albarelli were brought to Italy by Muslim Arab traders, and the earliest Italian examples were produced in Florence in the 15th century. Albarelli were made in Italy in the first half of the 15th century and the Low Countries in the 16th century, first by Italian potters, and later by the locals. They were produced in cities such as Antwerp, Bergen op Zoom, Utrecht, and Haarlem.

The albarelli we see here date from the early 17th century. The earliest one, on the left, was probably made in Haarlem. The others could also have been made there but could have been made in any Dutch city with a majolica production.

The large ones (19cm in height!) have all restorations, the small one (10cm in height) only has chips and a crack (no breaks) and is further intact.

Two fine painted whaling plates from the 18th cent

Two fine painted whaling plates from the 18th century.

No. 4 ‘t Loopen van de Walvis: This plate shows a sloop pulling a whale, to wear him out. In the background, we can see several whaling vessels, Groendlandvaarders, between ice floes.

No. 8 ‘t Afmaken van de Walvis: This plate shows a large whaling vessel, Groendlandvaarder, with a sloop in front of the ship and the whale being cut into pieces for processing. It is a fine and detailed painting. A fun detail is the funky walrus.

These plates originate from a series of twelve plates about the ”Grote Visserij” or big fishing, telling the process of the whale hunt and the processing of the whale into oil. A sad story 😭 but beautiful pieces of craftsmanship and history which help us tell the story.

Restored. Swipe for scale.
