Exceptional Gifts for Exceptional Occasions

The Triumph of Delft Queen Mary II’s Ceramic Collection Queen Mary was a keen collector of Chinese porcelain. She also brought 17th-century Delftware from Holland when she came to the throne of England in 1689 with her Dutch husband, William of Orange. Their arrival had a great effect on the artistic tastes of the last years of the Stuart dynasty.

The royal palaces at Kensington and Hampton Court were decorated with these blue and white ornamental pots. Hampton Court Palace became the centre of the court with many rooms accented with magnificent pieces of Chinese porcelain and Delftware, including large vases for tulips and exotic miniature orange trees.

‘Eos’

By Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (1802 – 1873) After the original oil painting in The Royal Collection.

Prince Albert’s beloved greyhound stands poised and alert, guarding some of her master’s possessions – an opera hat, gloves and a cane. Prince Albert brought Eos with him from Germany when he married Queen Victoria in 1840. So great was his affection for the dog that the following year the Queen commissioned Sir Edwin Landseer to paint her portrait as a surprise Christmas present for him.
