Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum - Delftware hi Cow The Descent Of The Alpine Cows Festival Cows in flower crowns – what more do you need? Cows are the most famous and beloved subjects depicted in Dutch Delftware. Since the eighteenth century they have adorned mantelpieces, furniture and window sills.

They were always produced in pairs, with their heads turned towards each other and tongues lapping. Remarkably, these cows are almost always painted with lavish swags of floral garland draped around their necks and backs.

The Delft potters were inspired by a seventeenth-century tradition. Each year the Butcher’s guild in Holland would hold a parade on the day of its patron saint (St. Luke, symbolized by the apocalyptic winged ox). The parade celebrated the guild’s best-bred bull or cow.

The prized beast was decorated with floral garlands and ribbons, and gilded horns. Cows measure approximately 3.5” long Excellent condition!!!

    Selling since March 2024

    A long time ago, my thrifting journey kicked off when my aunt passed away, leaving behind her house and all its contents to us. Tasked with selling off the items the family didn't want to keep, I found myself diving headfirst into the world of discovering new and intriguing things. I was truly astounded by the variety of items that people were interested in buying from us!

    Now, my husband and I have turned this passion into a shared hobby, traveling far and wide to attend auctions, sift through thrift stores, explore estate sales, and scour garage sales. Each item we come across becomes an opportunity for me to delve into research and learn something new. For us, it's not just about making a sale, but about the joy of acquiring knowledge.

    Interacting with customers is a highlight of our thrifting adventure. We take great care in packaging each item, sending it off with well wishes for a safe journey to its new home. Our hope is that whoever receives our packages will come to love the items as much as we do.
