Vraag

The vase was received as a wedding present 58 years ago. The color on the white pottery is not what we normally associate with Delft. We would like to confirm the vase is Delft and the approximate age and where it was made.

This is a Sandelfo vase from the Porceleyne Fles, designed by Herman Sander but not painted by him. The painter is J.H. ten Hacken. The year code is difficult to read. CI? (1964), CL? (1967) but CC would be the most logical (1958). Perhaps someone can decipher this and provide clarification. All in all, a very beautiful vase.

Franky,

Thank you so much for the information on the vase. It is a cherished wedding present from 1968 and we always have it displayed. We have made many trips to the Netherlands but sadly have not been to De Porceleyne Fles. 

Sincerely,

John Flournoy

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, but made after 1850 After 1850, the earthenware production technique changed at the only remaining pottery in Delft. This technique goes beyond the scope of this website. 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 Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more
