A rare Orangist garniture of five Dutch Delft vases and three covers circa 1740

'De Porceleyne Bijl', two of beaker form and three of baluster form with covers, each moulded with a rococo reserve painted in sepia, ochre and polychrome colours with the Lion of Holland resting at the foot of an orange tree tied with a bunch of seven arrows, shipping off the coast in the background, beneath the inscription: Hier rust ik veylig, surmounted by oranges, the domed covers with foliate form finials and painted with further orange branches

A plate with a similar decoration is illustrated in D.F. Lunsingh Scheurleer, Oranje op Aardewerk, Lochem, 1994, p. 106, fig. 120.
