Small dish with a lid, with a curl round handle. Beautifully hand painted in the delft colours.

Vraag

I am wondering how old this dish is and if it is of any value, for insurance purposes.

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

Thank you for reaching out. Although we cannot be entirely sure where your box was made, it doesn’t seem to be in Delft. The Delft or Delft Blue names were not protected and we know of objects produced in other countries – even in Japan. The box was probably produced around 1900 -1920. I am sorry but according to our T&Cs we cannot help you with value on this platform. Hoping to have been of service and enjoy your blue and white!

Thank you for your help, very much appreciated
