This Royal Delft figurine is named after Mary Stuart II, wife of Lord Lieutenant William III. Mary was a great admirer and collector of Delft Blue earthenware in the time of Vermeer and Rembrandt. Proud Mary's design is driven by Royal Delft's desire to give the Delft Blue it has created since the 17th century a contemporary look & feel. Proud Mary is composed of four seperate elements: skirt, body, collar and head. Proud Mary Astonia is inspired by a 17th century vase from the Rijksmuseum, once made by the factory ‘De Drie Posteleyne Astonne’. There is a collection of Proud Mary figurines available in the shop (under section Modern style). Proud Mary "Astonia" / Royal Delft / handmade.
