A small vase found at a French brocante, with a signature on the base and numbers impressed into the ceramic body

Vraag

Hello everyone,
I am once again asking for your kind help with the identification of a small vase.
I have contacted this forum twice before and received very clear and helpful answers, for which I am very grateful. Unfortunately, my previous objects turned out not to be Delft, but I was nevertheless very happy to gain certainty thanks to your expertise.
This time, I would like to submit a small vase. Considering the enormous number of copies, imitations and later pieces, my hopes that it might be an original are, of course, very modest. Still, there is a small chance that this object could be related to genuine Delft pottery, and I would be very glad to hear your opinion.
Thank you very much for your time and expertise.

Unfortunately, this one is also not authentic Delft. This was made by Goedewaagen from Gouda (later moved to Nieuw-Buinen). In 1910, the factory, then led by Aart Goedewaagen, received the right to carry the designation "koninklijk". In 1982, the factory went bankrupt and was no longer allowed to use 'koninklijk,' it became Royal Goedewaagen. Your vase will date from somewhere in the middle, presumably between 1950-1970.

kind regards Franky

Thank you so much, Franky, for taking the time to explain everything in such detail. Even though it’s not authentic Delft once again, thanks to you I now know more about the origin of this little vase, and that already makes me happy. Thank you again!

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
  • 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

Thank you for submitting this little vase. As already mentioned by Franky Stevelinck, this is made in Gouda ate the Royal Goedewaagen pottery.
