On these vases, with a multicoloured background of stylised flowers and garlands, three medallions are left blank each time. These are used for illustrations of the Niobe legends. These illustrations are taken from a 1528 freeze by Polidoro Caldara (named Da Caravaggio) on the façade of the palace of Giovanni Antonio Milesi in Rome.
The work produced by Jacob W. Hoppestein and his son Rochus for 't Jonge Moriaenshooft is considered some of the best of the 17th-century Delft earthenware industry.
