A French ( ?) modern imitation.

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

I tend to agree with mr. Maes, this is most probably French and produced in the 20th century. The decoration with a parrot in a rind is something we see on Delftware towards 1800, so it may have been copied from there. 

Thanks to both of you for your time and insight... it is appreciated.
