Pot with Lid

This is a bowl with a lid. The bowl seems old and mottled. The lid seems whiter. There are two indentations in the lid and a knob, and the lid fits onto the bottom/bowl.

Vraag

The three marks seem different to those I have seen. They are crosses not stars. Please can anybody advise me of the age and if there is any value. My ancestors lived in Amsterdam prior to 1750!

Your tub has nothing to do with the authentic delftware from circa 1625 to about 1850. It is new, made at the art pottery factory '' De Delftse Pauw '' located in Rijswijk, province of South Holland in the Netherlands, a few hundred meters from the municipal border from Delft. The company started in 1954. Your tub and lid are hand-painted, underglaze painting, the so-called new technique, the tub and lid may not have been painted by the same pottery painter (es), greetings jvdh.

Thank you.   It was the marks being different to the asterisk - they are just crosses - that made me wonder if it was new or old.   At least I know now it can go on ebay for a small amount!  I assume less than £10/E10 probably!

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
  • 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
