## DE KONINKLIJKE PORCELEYNE FLES DELFT IMARI STYLE HEXAGONAL VASE: IDENTIFICATION

A fine tin-glazed earthenware (Delftware) vase featuring a hexagonal fluted body decorated in the 'Pijnacker' or Imari palette. The decoration consists of underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron red and gold gilding, depicting a central floral bouquet in a jardinière. The base shows the characteristic 'Porceleyne Fles' mark: a small jar (fles), the initials 'JT' (Joost Thooft), and the word 'Delft'.

Produced by De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft), a factory established in 1653 and the only remaining original Delft producer from the 17th century. The 'Pijnacker' style visible here was popularized in the early 20th century, specifically imitating 17th-century Japanese Imari porcelain which was highly prized by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The date code 'CZ' on the base signifies a production year of 1980.

[How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection)

## CERAMICIST'S ASSESSMENT

Ceramics Historian & Kiln Specialist

Ceramics Expert

Consistency between the factory date code, painter's initials, and the high-quality execution of the Pijnacker technique allows for very high confidence.

### KEY EVIDENCE

-   1 Factory mark 'fles' with JT monogram confirms Royal Delft origin. 
-   2 Date code 'CZ' indicates exact manufacturing year of 1980. 
-   3 Painter's initials 'CB' correspond to a documented artist at the factory during that era. 
-   4 Hexagonal mold form is a classic Porceleyne Fles shape (Model No. 841). 

### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

-   → Check for translucency under a bright light; this should be opaque earthenware, not translucent porcelain. 
-   → Inspect the rim gilding for any microscopic 'flea bites' or chips. 

COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (2 terms) 

## CONDITION & GRADE

Near Mint 

### Grading breakdown

The high-resolution images show zero visible wear to the overglaze red or gold, which are usually the first areas to suffer from improper handling.

### Condition

Visual inspection shows no evidence of crazing or chips; the gilding on the rim appears remarkably intact with minimal rubbing.

## CERAMICS MARKET VALUE

$150 - $350

Updated: May 11, 2026

How we estimate value 

### Who buys this

Dutch Delft specialists and collectors of European earthenware, as well as interior designers seeking classic Chinoiserie accents.

### What increases value

-   • Inclusion of gold gilding (typical of higher-tier Pijnacker pieces) 
-   • Excellent condition of the overglaze red, which is prone to scratching 
-   • Factory-confirmed manufacturing date (1980) 

### What lowers value

-   • Crazing or staining to the white ground 
-   • Rubbing or loss to the gold rim decoration 

### What makes top-tier examples

-   • Balanced distribution of the 'three-fold' firing colors 
-   • Sharpness of the hexagonal fluting contours 

### Grade & condition

Completeness of gilding and absence of hairline cracks in the base.

### Rarity & demand

Average Moderate demand Sells quickly
