It is somewhat confusing because I see two logos for the same plate, namely Pyramide and Boch. Based on the visual characteristics in the photo and general knowledge about Boch and De Pyramide, it is more likely that the plate is from Boch.

The decoration on the plate, with the detailed border of leaves and floral motifs and the central scene, is very characteristic of the "transferware" style (overprinting technique) of Boch. Boch, and particularly Boch Frères Keramis, produced large quantities of earthenware with a blue-and-white decor that was heavily inspired by English and Chinese ceramics. This style of detailed, almost graphic patterns is a trademark of Boch.The Pyramide (Gouda) had a different approach.

Although there were Gouda pottery manufacturers that produced Delft blue, the style of Gouda ceramics, including that of De Pyramide, often leaned more towards Jugendstil and Art Deco, featuring more abstract or stylized motifs. De Pyramide also produced Delft blue, but the style as seen on the plate is less typical for Gouda producers.

at the bottom a typical decor of Pyramid.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? Read more
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

With thanks to Franky Stevelinck for the details.
