This is a lidded vase made by Makkum Tichelaar. So, Frisian pottery. According to historical research and the registration of maker's marks at Tichelaar Makkum, the pieces with the two crossed T's were first consistently marked by the brothers Jelmer Pieters Tichelaar (1831-1911) and Jan Pieters Tichelaar (1835-1919), who ran the company from around 1868. Only in the last years of the 19th century (around ±1890) do you see the crossed T's regularly applied on pottery as a recognizable mark. Your lidded vase appears in the catalog from around 1880, so it can be dated between 1880 and 1910. The lid is probably not original to this vase.

kind regards Franky

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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
  • 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
