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
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

The storage jar, which seems to have a cover of a different color by the way, was produced around 1900 as an imitation of the coveted Delftware from earlier centuries. The QV mark stand for Kunstaardewerkfabriek Quo-Vadis in the city of Gouda. Painter Franciscus Ignatius (Frans) Bijlaart (Nijmegen 1889 - 1970 Gouda) started producing in the late 1940's.

Het is anders, het bedrijf werd gestart door de plateelschilder Theodorus Jacobus Johannes Rouwen ( Arnhem 1912-1995 Gouda), kwam in 1937 via Rotterdam uit Arnhem naar Gouda, waar hij in Arnhem plateelschilder is geweest is onbekend, in 1941 krijgt hij vergunning voor uitbreiding van zijn bedrijf, Frans Bijlaart was chef van de schilderzaal, groet jvdh.

It is different, the company was started by the pottery painter Theodorus Jacobus Johannes Rouwen (Arnhem 1912-1995 Gouda), came in 1937 via Rotterdam from Arnhem to Gouda, where he was a pottery painter in Arnhem is unknown, in 1941 he gets a permit for expansion of his company, Frans Bijlaart was chief of the painting room, regards jvdh.
