The jar is not made in Delft, my guess would be a French reproduction made in the early 20th century.

Kind regards, Patrick

How can you tell?

A few things that stand out: the shape of the jar, the design, the painting, the colour blue is too dark, it hasn’t got the age, the glaze.

Have a browse through some of the real Delft pieces ( https://delftsaardewerk.nl/ontdekken/merkenindex ) and you’ll instantly see the differences.

Kind regards, Patrick

Thanks for your info.

Verdict:

Analysis:

Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

Thank you
