Decoratie

Ceramic (?) napkin rings with windmill scene.

There is a hand painted mark inside each ring which reads, “Hand Painted Blue Delfts.”

Each ring is slightly uneven, indicating that they were handmade, as well.

Vraag

Is this set authentic? How can I tell who the maker was and when they were made?

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
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? Read more

Sadly these rings are not what we call authentic Delftware. They were probably produced around 1900 and that could have been done in Eastern Europe for the Dutch souvenir market.
