A Dutch-decorated Chinese porcelain saucer showing "The miracle of Zaandam", dated 1747 Restored. Dia: 11,5 cm. Decorated with a scene 'The Bull's Cruelty', after the Dutch painting, depicting a farmer and his wife attacked by a bull, the farmer lying on the ground, wounded, and his wife thrown up in the air giving premature birth to a baby which falls on the ground together with her shoes, a windmill on the left and a boy flying a kite on the right, the reverse inscribed 29 Augustus 1647. The drama took place in Zaandam on 29th August, 1647, when a woman rushed to her husband who was being thrown in the air because of a bull who was probably startled by a boy flying a kite. The wife gave birth to her son in mid-air and both fell on the ground. The parents died directly after the drama and the child survived, but died nine months later. The family is buried in the 'Bullenkerk' or Westzijderkerk Zaandam, where the painting (dated 1737) which was the example for the decoration of this cup and saucer, hangs as well, together with a poem ('Des Stiers Wreedheyt') which describes the incident. (see D.F. Lunsingh Scheurleer, Chinese Export Porcelain - Chine de Commande, London, 1974, ill. 358 for a plate in the Zaanlandse Oudheidskamer, Zaandijk; and Museum Boymans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; and for the whole group with this subject see: Hervouèt et Bruneau, La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes a Décor Occidental, Paris, 1986, pp. 380-381 pls. 16.50-16.54)
A rare Dutch Delft black cow, ca. 1720 Size: L: 21 cm, H: 15 cm. Condition: Some restoration to the horns and ears. Provenance: A Dutch private collection. Signed IVL above numerals 1 and 16, for Johannes en Margaretha Van Lockhorst-Van der Gucht, De Klaauw, 1713-1740. Black Delftware is the least produced type of Dutch Delftware. Inspired by "mirror black" Chinese porcelain and Japanese lacquerwork, black Delftware forms a small but interesting part of the history of the ultimate Dutch export product from the "Golden ages". According to experts, only approximately 120 pieces of black Delftware exist, of which 65 to 70 are currently known. Black Delftware is generally situated in the first quarter of the 18th century, although two black Delftware horses dated 1695-1720 appeared in Aronson, Dutch Delftware, 2006, p. 42. One was marked LVE for Lambertus van Eenhoorn. Furthermore, it is interesting to note the existence of a pair of milking groups in Black Delftware. These were sold at Christie's, Amsterdam, Sale 2232, Lot 528, Jun. 7, 1994 and attributed to De Dobbelde Schenckan or De Metalen Pot (1690 - 1720)". Also interesting to note, is the existence of another piece of undecorated black Delftware, a plate. It was sold at Christie's Amsterdam, Nov. 9, 2004, Sale 2641, Lot 31. This makes our present example the only known black Delft cow without polychrome overpainting.
