Vraag

Without a specific mark, and I’m a novice in this field, I’m trying to establish if this is authentic. The inscription means ‘New Star Beer’ in Indonesian and the ‘feel’ is aged, of around Dutch East Indies turn of last century.

Bintang is an Indonesian Beer Brand, owned by the Heineken beer company. The brand exists since 1957. Many similar beer mugs are around in the Netherlands, mostly with the Heineken brand on it. They were some kind of marketing product in the sixties/seventies. Probably not real Delftware, but made in Holland nevertheless. 

Thanks very much for the information - the mug will still be much cherished, if for nothing else but the amusement at my hope!

 

Best wishes

Beoordeling:

  • Niet-Delfts

Toelichting:

  • Niet in Delft gemaakt Delfts aardewerk wordt alleen zo genoemd als het echt in Delft is geproduceerd. Lees meer
  • Nieuwere productietechniek Na 1850 ontwikkelen fabrieken in binnen- en buitenland efficiëntere, goedkopere productietechnieken. Dit aardewerk valt buiten de scope van deze site. Lees meer
  • Niet handbeschilderd Traditioneel Delfts aardewerk is handbeschilderd, maar na 1750 komen er nieuwe technieken voor het aanbrengen van decoraties. Lees meer
  • Merk van niet-Delftse plateelbakkerij/fabriek Het typische Delfts aardewerk inspireert ook producenten buiten Delft, maar écht Delfts aardewerk is alleen in Delft gemaakt. Lees meer

As user JBakoele wrote already, this is not an original antique Delftware mug. I learned something from him too because I didn’t know about the Heineken branding in the late 50’s. 😁

Thanks very much for the clarification - I had the outside hope that this might be one of those pieces that didn’t have a specific manufacturer signature/brand/numbering/marking. Hope springs eternal and I’m now a bit more informed! 
 

thanks! P
