Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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
  • 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

These vases, were not made by Willem van der Kool of the delftware pottery the Drie Porceleyne Flessies (1702-1716), but are more modern. I’m not really sure if this is a fake mark, or that this signature was also used by another pottery painter in the 19th/20th century. I would suggest these vases were made in the north of France in Dèsvres as this mark was copied there for sure. When I look at the decoration I would date this set 1900-1920.
