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
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

Even though it says ´Delfts blauw´ on the bottom of this vase, it wasn´t made in Delft. I don´t recognize the makers mark, but these kind of objects were made in different cities in the Netherlands in the 20th century. And even today we find traditional blue-and-white ceramics in different factories and workshops that are using the traditional delftware-decorations from the 17th and 18th century.
