Marking is not double JT, but double T = brothers Tichelaar, Makkum, province Friesland in the Netherlands. Is now Royal Tichelaar Makkum, completely hand-painted, enamel painting, the so-called old technique. Age is difficult, possibly after 1910 and before 1965-1970, greeting jvdh.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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 non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

As mentioned by Jan van den Heuvel, the vase was produced at Tichelaar in the Frisian town of Makkum in the twentieth century.
