Found these in my grandparents home and remember playing with them when I was little. 40 years ago. Just seeing if any info can be given. Thank you.

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
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. 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

These are typical Dutch souvenirs and they cannot be attributed to be authentic Delft. Possibly they were even produced in China to be sold here. Did your grandparents visit Holland at any point?
