This vase was painted by two painters in 1934 (BD). Theo van Lingen (1893-1945) probably painted the landscape and G. van  Heijenoort (1891-1940) the border decoration. It is an "A" design that at the time was sold slightly cheaper due to, for example, a flaw in the glaze, the painting, or other matters.

An 'A' or 'B' above a model or article number? Then it concerns a quality/price classification, especially from the crisis years. Usually stamped and also painted.

Thank you so much for you’re help Franky! I’m happy to know more about this beautiful vase. In your opinion, was this type of vase a common product for Royal Delft at this period? 

Kind regards Joakim

The shape of the vase was certainly characteristic of the period. However, the landscape with the windmill can still be seen today in their production on vases, plates, cups, etc. The windmill is very typical of the Netherlands, hence.

Below are a few examples of contemporary hand-painted pottery.

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

Met dank aan Franky Stevelinck voor de details.
