Pilgrim's Flask
Marked AK on the base for the "De Grieksche A" workshop under the ownership of Adrianus Kocx (1687-1701)
Delft, The Netherlands
Circa 1690
Tin-glazed earthenware
De Grieksche A (The Greek A) is considered as one of the most famous and prestigious Delftware factories of the Dutch Golden Age. The excavation in the Paleis het Loo have shown that the delicate blue and white objects that were created during his ownership were also highly appreciated by the House of Orange. In 1685, Adrianus Kocx became the owner of the factory. His ownership corresponds to the creation of a wide variety of new shapes. In 1685, he became the official architect of William III, Prince of Orange, who entrusted him with the decoration of his residence, Paleis Het Loo. In order to decorate the palace, Queen Mary, who developed an unequalled passion for Delftware, commissioned many objects from De Grieksche A. According to Van Dam, this type of flask may have been “part of a table service, the round shape borrowed from an originally mid 16th century Italian idea”.
