It looks like your plate is transferware and not hand painted, I do not recognise the mark on the back but I would say it's produced in the mid to late 20th century. Unfortunately it is not original Delftware that was produced in the 17-19th century.

Valuations are not given on this website.

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
  • 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

Your plate was produced by Boch Keramis in Belgium, and this mark was in use between 1969-1985. In 1969 the factory bought designs and molds from the Royal Sphinx (Maastricht) factury and this is probably one of their original designs.

 

Agree with PatrickW on the production technique
