Dark blue floral design. Might be hand-painted?

Vraag

Is it antique delft/authentic, or more recent knock-off for tourist trade?

Hello,

Your bowl is made in the 20th century by OUD Delft which is a company that was based in Nijmegen. Unfortunately it is not authentic Delftware but I wouldn't classify it as a cheap knock-off for the tourist trade either. Delft is not a protected name and there are a few companies outside Delft that produced the Delft style earthenware.

Kind regards, Patrick

 

 

Thanks, Patrick

Any sense of how old it might be ? I think my mother-in-law acquired it on a European trip, maybe 1950's.

Hi Sue,

OUD Delft started to use the mark that's on your bowl from 1935 so you're probably not far off with your estimation.

Kind regards, Patrick

Thanks Patrick,

I really like the design, so I'll be hanging on to it.

Beoordeling:

  • Niet-Delfts

Toelichting:

  • 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
  • Merk van niet-Delftse plateelbakkerij/fabriek Het typische Delfts aardewerk inspireert ook producenten buiten Delft, maar écht Delfts aardewerk is alleen in Delft gemaakt. Lees meer
