Yes, is from the Porceleyne Fles in Delft, the letters CE indicate 1960 as the year of production, the marking on the left will be the initials of the pottery painter, aim? presumably a fruit bowl, greeting jvdh.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, but made after 1850 After 1850, the earthenware production technique changed at the only remaining pottery in Delft. This technique goes beyond the scope of this website. 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
  • Mark of a Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more

We agree with Jan!
