Een grote blauw-witte Delftse wandfontein met deksel, 1e helft 18e eeuw

H.: 76,5 cm (cistern and cover)

Marked AIK on the back for Jacob Van Der Kool, the 'De Grieksche A' workshop, 1722-1757.

Condition: (UV-checked)
- Generally in very good condition, the glaze well preserved and the overall appearance very attractive. The repairs all executed to a good standard, almost invisible to the naked eye and not excessively applied.
- The cover with a restored horizontal break to the upper section, about 4 cm down from the top. Another just below the finial in the middle section.
- The cistern with a baking-related tension crack on the left side, extending from app. the middle, downwards to app. the height of the spout. On the left of the spout, some restoration is visible, possibly covering a section which was broken out and restuck. On the interior, the whole cracked section appears to have been consolidated. Otherwise in good condition with normal minor superficial wear.
