This is made by VLs ( Velsen Sassenheim. ) So it's not authentic Delft

The start in Velsen (1920): The factory opened in Velsen-Noord under the name Potterie Kennemerland. The 'Velsen pottery' produced here became world-famous for its sleek Art Deco style, featuring geometric shapes and designs by top artists.

The relocation (1942): During World War II, the factory was forced to relocate to Sassenheim because its original location in Velsen had to make way for the German Atlantic Wall.

The Sassenheim period (until 2002): After the war, the factory continued operating in Sassenheim under the name Keramiekfabriek Velsen. Its style shifted drastically here: from modern Art Deco to traditional Delft Blue and decorative ceramics. The factory permanently closed its doors in 2002.

Unfortunatly values are not discused here.

Kind regards Franky

De start in Velsen (1920): De fabriek begon in Velsen-Noord onder de naam Potterie Kennemerland. Het hier gemaakte 'Velser aardewerk' werd wereldberoemd om zijn strakke Art Deco-stijl met geometrische vormen en ontwerpen van topkunstenaars.

De verhuizing (1942): Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog moest de fabriek gedwongen verhuizen naar Sassenheim, omdat de oorspronkelijke locatie in Velsen moest wijken voor de Duitse Atlantikwall.

De Sassenheimse periode (tot 2002): Na de oorlog ging de fabriek in Sassenheim verder onder de naam Keramiekfabriek Velsen. De stijl veranderde hier drastisch: van moderne Art Deco naar traditioneel Delfts Blauw en sieraardewerk. In 2002 sloot de fabriek definitief de deuren.

Waarden worden hier helaas niet besproken.

Thank you. You really know your stuff. 

Just to add this: Painted by Dick Dorresteijn. He is a well-known name in the history of Keramiekfabriek Velsen, after this factory moved to Sassenheim in 1942. He was not only active as an earthenware painter but later also took on the role of factory manager, succeeding Leen Marbus. Under his leadership and by his own hand, many pieces were produced in the recognizable Delft Blue style as well as polychrome. Think of hand-painted vases, wall plates, and complete cabinet sets. Although the factory in Sassenheim was active from 1942 to 2002, his active painting and management period is mainly placed around the 1950s to the 1970s/80s. His signature often consists of interwoven letters D (DD). Your plate therefore dates from that period. Best, Franky
