One of the most famous Delftware factories in the 17th century was “De Grieksche A”, which was located on the Lange Geer in the centre of Delft. This factory flourished especially during the ownership of Adriaan Kocx (1686-1701). Queen Mary II, the wife of kin-stadholder William III, was one of his important patrons.
The designs by Adriaan Kocx are well known for their elegant mix of Asian and European motifs. Today, his work can be found in museums all over the world. You can usually identify his work by the potter’s mark ‘AK’ on the bottom of the piece.
This paper vase is designed by Elisabeth Rijkels-Visser and therefore has the mark ‘ERV’.
