About this piece
This small vase was painted by Jan van Schaik. We know this from the typical signature underneath.
The body is round and the neck flares out to a black rim. The decoration is made of flowing, stylised shapes in brown, orange, ochre and cream, with small touches of turquoise.
The year of production is not clear. There is a circular mark that could not be identified. The vase is severely damaged, which is part of its story now.
Condition
- Severely damaged, according to the dealer's notes
- Fine crack running across the front of the body
- Further fine cracks and break lines on the body and around the neck. No missing pieces.
- No old repairs. The vase is kept together with Scotch tape.
