It's French with a fake mark around 1920.

Regards,

 

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

I agree with mr Maes. The model, style, and decoration of this jar are not consistent with authentic AK-marked wares produced at De Grieksche A during the proprietorship of Adrianus Kocx.

Sorry, Fake with a Fake mark, 20th. century. (Heavily Craquelure and to shiny glaze.)
