Polychrome Delft oval dish with an 833/835 silver handle assayed in Amsterdam in 1945.

Vraag

I can't find a thing on the pottery marks and no polychrome pottery with a silver handle anywhere online. Assayed in 1945 - post WW2? During WW2?

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
  • 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

The name Zilpla was used by the Regina factory in Gouda for their pottery (PLAteel) products with silver (ZILVer) or silver plated mountings. 1080a refers to the model. The dish was probably produced in the same period as the silver handle. 

Hello, yes thank you I already know that, as I have owned Silpla pieces in the past but only the plated items. I have other Dutch pottery/ceramic pieces and am aware that the number is in an internal company reference to the model/design number. That is generally the same with other pottery/ceramic pieces stamped with a number on the bottom, regardless of place of manufacture. Some design numbers refer to the height/width of a piece.  This is the first assayed silver piece I have had with Silpla as a reference on the back of a pottery item, so am assuming that the entire piece was made in 1945.  The mark on the pottery is for Schoonhoven Keramiek.
