Hand Painted Delft Blue Wall Hanging Salt Box Windmill Wood Lid Vintage Rare

Rare Vintage Hand Painted Delft Blue Wall Hanging Salt Box with Original Wooden Lid

This beautiful vintage Delft Blue wall-mounted salt box features a classic Dutch windmill landscape framed by traditional hand-painted floral scrollwork in rich cobalt blue. The word "Salt" is prominently painted on the backplate, while the rounded porcelain body provides generous storage for salt or other kitchen staples. An original curved wooden sliding lid completes the piece, giving it the authentic charm of traditional Dutch country kitchenware.

The underside bears the DAIC Handpainted Delft Blue mark, indicating production by Delft Art Industries Company (D.A.I.C.), known for creating decorative Delft-inspired ceramics in the Netherlands during the twentieth century. The timeless blue-and-white palette and iconic windmill motif make this an attractive display piece for farmhouse, country, and Dutch décor collectors.
