Not a known Delft mark. Based on the style and composition of the decorations, made after 1850. 

Interesting that there seems to be a color difference within the blue decorations.

het merk ziet er verdacht uit. LVE merken komen op zich ook op het glazuur voor, maar het handschrift van het merk, in combinatie met de vorm van de fles, geven vraagtekens. De kleuren van de decoraties zijn van deze foto's moeilijk te beoordelen, dit zou kunnen helpen in de beoordeling.
