Blue and white clover shaped pin dish

Vraag

The dish has what looks to be a KA type mark on the back, the general questions are around authenticity? It came from my wife's Belgian relatives some time back and we were curious. So reaching out to this community, thanks.

Afmetingen
Approx 10cm square? It would fit within that areas.

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
  • Possibly false mark It is not always possible to confirm whether a mark is authentic, as ‘older’ marks were added to earthenware in the 19th century. Read more

This dish isn't authentic Delftware. In my opinion it has been made in Northern France, possibly by Geo Martel in Desvres, in the early 20th century.
