Delft Pope John Paul II Plate

2

Pope John Paul II plate, with a lot of writing/markings on the back. This piece also came with an certificate of authenticity that states “from the windisch family” dated 1987.

Vraag

Is this plate one of a kind? Were these pieces made specially on request? I cannot find any other plate with this design and markings on the back including a certificate of authenticity.

This is a commemorative plate made by Westraven as indicated on the certificate and at the back of the plate. The certificate indicates production within their factory and is cataloged as Delft Blue, but it is not hand-painted. The print is applied using transfer technology, which is clearly visible at the bottom of the plate, at the button of the robe. The offset does not fit perfectly there. As far as the edition is concerned, it will not be limited as the items were sold as souvenirs but it's difficult to know how many they made. It's  considered "new". possibly desirable for the right collector. Authentic Delftware must have been made in a Delft Pottery and before 1850.

Kind regards, Franky

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

Indeed made by Westraven, most likely there have been made more.
