Oriental design in traditional blue and white, with mark for AK on the back

Vraag

I would appreciate any opinions on the age of this plaque as I am a bit confused.
On the one hand I read the AK mark to be for Adrianus Kocx but that would make it ca. 1700 and the look and feel of it is more like the 1980's or 90's.
Could this be a reproduction of an older item?

Hello,

You are correct in that this is indeed a reproduction with a fake mark. Most of the reproductions were made in France so there’s a good chance your plaque has its origins there too. A  few giveaways are the bright colours blue, the extra L near the mark, the drawing itself and it is of course, as you noticed yourself, much more recently made than the 18th century.

Kind regards, Patrick
 

 

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for confirming my suspicions.  In fact the couple I bought it from had been living in France, so this would seem to confirm the origin.  Fortunately, I did not pay a huge amount of money for it so I am happy with it as a decorative object.

Thanks again, Steve

  • Niet-Delfts

  • Niet in Delft gemaakt Delfts aardewerk wordt alleen zo genoemd als het echt in Delft is geproduceerd. Lees meer
  • Nieuwere productietechniek Na 1850 ontwikkelen fabrieken in binnen- en buitenland efficiëntere, goedkopere productietechnieken. Dit aardewerk valt buiten de scope van deze site. Lees meer
  • Vals merk In de 19de eeuw ontstaat een financiële prikkel om recenter gemaakt aardewerk te verkopen als antiek Delfts aardewerk, soms zelfs voorzien van valse Delftse fabrieksmerken. Lees meer

Thanks Patrick!
