Delft polychrome calendar plate for December

Vraag

I am wondering if this is an original Delft plate or a 20th century reproduction

I suspect a copy because I miss the proenen (firing marks) and the glass burnt edge from the baking hanging in a cylinder. Attached is an original porceleyne byl plate from around 1764–88. Here you can clearly see the baking brands specific to the period. The smoothness of the back also seems to recent to me.

 

best regards
