Voorwerp

Porcelain or clay; handpainted multicoloured flowers and leaves on a white glazed background; mark on base is hand painted.

Vraag

Does anything about the shape, the painted design or the mark suggest that this is Delft, or that it is a copy? In either case, from where and from when please?

white shard is made of clay, not porcelain, is new, underglaze painting, handpainted, made at De Delftse Pauw Art Pottery, after 1954, the company is a few hundred meters from the municipal border of Delft, greeting jvdh.

Thank you Jan! This is what I thought it would be. I have also emailed the people at De Delftse Pauw for confirmation. Maybe they will be able to narrow the year down a little, based on the mark. Or maybe not...

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more
