Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. 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
  • 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 Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more

Indeed your vase was produced at the De Klaauw factory, more information under the link, towards 1800. The decoration is rare though. The perched parrot and a small dog is originally probably a Dutch drawing, which was copied onto Chinese porcelain, which in turn was copied onto Meissen porcelain, which then was copied again by Delft. An interesting set of events, closing the circle and bringing the drawing home again. An identical set is my collections and can be seen on this webpage. Also that set has the additional marks of Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Klaauw (The Claw) factory from 1763 to 1806.

Hi Robert
