Voorwerp

Plate with bright white ground colour and deep blue hand painted decoration. No leg rim underneath, just rounded. Slight chipping around edges. One of a pair. Seems good quality in colours and craftmanship.

Vraag

Is this Delft please? What date is it please? Do you know the maker? Is it a rarity please?

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
  • Can not be determined based on current information To properly assess this object, more information or more or better photos are needed.

Not entirely sure, but the plate gives an eerie feeling. The glazing looks too harsh and I think it is a later imitation.
