caption_attribution_description: maker's mark Ary de Milde: onderzijde theepot, gestempeld: ovaal merk met naar links springende vos op grondje met rondschrift ARY.DE.MILDE (Ary de Milde, eigenaar De Gecroonde Theepot, 1692-1708)
context_page_description: Ary de Milde was a Dutch Golden Age ceramist in Delft.
  Milde was born in Delft and is known for developing a type of red stoneware imitation teapot that competed with the popular imported Yixing clay teapots. After the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty the import of Chinese porcelain to the Netherlands was severely reduced after the 1650s and there was an increased market for local ware. Unlike many of his colleagues, Milde actually stamped the bottom of his teapots with his own maker's mark, a practise that did not become common among the Netherlands ceramists until the 18th-century.
  Milde died in Delft.
