Verklaring aangemaakt: beschrijving (P113): Duck decoys, generally set in wooded surroundings, consist of a quiet pond connected to ditches spanned with large hooped nets. The most common decoy pond is rectangular with curving ditches (catching pipes) at each corner, a shape referred to as ‘rogge-ei’ (‘ray-‘ or ‘skate’s egg’). Since ducks tend to take flight into the wind, the variously-aimed pipes ensure that a bird can be caught in any wind direction. The pond and pipes are enclosed by... |
Verklaring aangemaakt: beschrijving (P113): The duck-hunting techniques evolved from the thirtheenth and fourteenth century in Flanders came to full development in the Northern Netherlands.

They fly out at night to collect food and return the next morning to the pond bringing along the wild ducks. In order to actually attract the wild ducks into the trap pipes, a ‘lokstal’ (‘luring stable’) of tame ducks (the so-called ‘decoy ducks’) is used. These ducks live more or less permanently near the pond and are fed daily. The decoyman also uses a dog (‘kooikerhondje’ or ‘piper’) to attract the ducks into the pipes. From behind the reed screens, the decoyman throws grain over the screens and whistles to attract the tame ducks to the entrance of the pipe. The dog circles the screens, appearing in the ducks’ sight and then disappearing again behind the screens to pique the ducks’ curiosity. The wild ducks swim along with the tame ducks while the dog lures them further down the pipe. When passing the curve of the ditch, the wild ducks can no longer see the pond. Then the decoyman appears, frightening the ducks, who take off and fly towards the dead end of the pipe, and end up in the vanghokje (‘catching box’), trapped. (Engels) | |||

Although information on duck decoys is scarce, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries many of the Dutch country estates would have had a duck decoy on their land, a pursuit as common as finch lanes (vinkenbanen) and falconry. For instance, near Delft the owner of the now-lost Pasgeld residence, Pieter Teding van Berkhout (1643-1713), who indulged in hunting and catching finches and thrushes on his estate grounds, mentions in his diary in 1686 the first ducks to reside in his duck (decoy) pond. The number of decoys declined during the eighteenth and nineteenth century due to intensified agriculture, changing water levels, and urbanization. From the 1,000 to 1,500 decoys that once existed, in 2008 only 113 remained. (Engels) | |||

In the period 2001-2007 the average catch of all the combined Dutch decoys consisted of 15.000 ducks a year, which is less than 1% of the autumn population. Most ducks currently captured are ringed for research purposes, and decoys have now become nature preserves and quiet sanctuaries. Although decoys are known in seven European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Germany, Great-Britain and the Netherlands), they are considered a typically Dutch phenomenon and part of Holland’s cultural identity, just like Dutch Delftware itself. To Great Britain, where ‘duck drives’ were known from the thirteenth century onward, the Dutch introduced the decoys in the seventeenth century, and ‘de kooi’ (‘the cage’) became known as ‘decoy’.

The duck-hunting techniques evolved from the thirtheenth and fourteenth century in Flanders came to full development in the Northern Netherlands. The oldest archival reference to decoys in the Netherlands dates from 1453, from the province of Gelderland. But it isn’t until the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the heyday of Dutch decoys, that engravings provide visual information on decoys. One of the oldest print sources is an engraving by Philips Galle (1537-1612) after Hans Bol (1534-1593), dated 1582 (fig. 1). The decoyman looks through the screen while two swimming dogs chase the ducks toward the pipe, and on the right two other men are collecting the trapped ducks. Decoys with two trapping pipes, as painted on the present aviary dispensers are unusual. However, the painting ‘La chasse au canard’ by Jacques-Guillaume van Blarenberghe (1691-1742) does depict two pipe entries next to each other, as does a manganese tile picture (Utrecht, circa 1800-1920).
