Plate

4

Fragments of the plate were found during archaeological research in Vilnius. The item was dated back to the 18th century and was attributed as an import of Delft pottery.

Vraag

Can this mark be attributed to a specific Delft pottery production workshop?
Could (and how) the chronology of this item be verified?
If possible, a reference to the relevant literature and sources would be very helpful.
Thank you!

It's not a mark but probably a lot or batch number. Indeed Delft around 1750.

Hi,

This can very good be delftware, but the colors are very strange. Perhaps because of the photo. Can you send new photo’s, also of the backside? Can you seen spur marks at the back of the plate? 

Best wishes,

Dear Suzanne,

Thank you for your comment. Yes, there are spur marks on the back side. The mark on the plate seemed to be important for a more precise definition of provenance and chronology. However, as I understand it, this sign does not allow for a more specific definition of the production workshop.

Sincerely

Justina

Beoordeling:

  • Niet-Delfts

Toelichting:

  • Niet in Delft gemaakt Delfts aardewerk wordt alleen zo genoemd als het echt in Delft is geproduceerd. Lees meer
  • Op basis van de huidige informatie niet goed te beoordelen Om dit voorwerp goed te beoordelen, is meer informatie of zijn meer of betere foto’s nodig.

Although I cannot be 100% certain based on the photos, my feeling says it is (was) an imitation plate from around 1900... 😔
