This is not a vase made by Anthony Pennis. It is a much later copy witha a fake Anthony Pennis signature. A fun detail is, that the real material from his factory is very often signed with just AP and ALL the fakes are ALWAYS signed with AP 3N (and often other fantasy scribbles)

Also, Delft painters were paid per piece, not per hour, so they spent as little time as possible on a signature/mark. 
AP registered trademark

Also, some of the marks were registered with the Saint Lucas guild in Delft, which stipulated exactly what their signature looked like. They were not allowed to deviate from the registered trade mark.


You can find details on The Saint Lucas Guild on this website!

 

Thank you. Now I know about it.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more
