Vraag

I do not understand how “Etruria” relates to Delft Pottery as this planter is marked. If anyone can share what this mark means I would appreciate it.

Toelichting:

  • Delfts, maar na 1850 gemaakt Na 1850 verandert de productietechniek voor aardewerk bij de enige overgebleven plateelfabriek in Delft. Dit valt buiten de scope van deze website. Lees meer
  • Handbeschilderd Een belangrijk kenmerk van authentiek Delfts aardewerk is dat het handgeschilderd is. Druktechnieken komen op dit aardewerk niet voor. Lees meer

In the first half of the 19th century, Henricus Arnoldus Piccardt, the owner of the Porceleyne Fles, where your planter has been made, invested a lot in competing the successful English creamware. He, and later his daughter Geertruida Piccardt, tried to copy the material. It is known that objects were also provided with English names such as 'London' and 'Victoria'. Although your planter has been made later, at the time Joost Thooft was owner of the company (1876-1884), it could be that 'Etruria', which is most likely the model name, should also be seen in this light.
