This plate has been made with the depiction of the Old Church in Delft. But the year code and painters initials are very difficult to read

Vraag

in which year was it produced? and from which painter?

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

What a wonderful decoration of the canal which we call the 'Oude Delft' with the Old Church in the background. This plate was made by the ceramic factory de Porceleyne Fles, which still exists (Royaldelft.com). Like you, I think the marks are hard to read. I couldn't find the artist but I think the yearletters might be AS for 1923.
