Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? Read more
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

Royal Tichelaar in the Frysian city of Makkum would have marked with crossed interlaced T's. This does not look like Makkum, I am sorry to say. Also it is not hand decorated, but rather printed and that is a technique that only came about in the second half of the 19th century in the Netherlands – although we cannot be sure this was produced in the Netherlands. Hoping to have been of service.
