Vraag

Can you help me identify this mark? There is a fish and bullock (bull's head) within the crest.

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

I am sorry that we cannot help with this one, apart from the fact that it is not a Delft jug. It was most probably produced in Southern Europe, maybe Italy? Good luck with your further search. 

Very helpful. 😊 Thank you, John
