Made to look like building.

Vraag

I can’t find anything that says my piece is made in The Netherlands. I do not think it is old or valuable, but decoration is very detailed and nice. Any information is appreciated!

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
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? 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

No, you are absolutely right, this is not a very old object. It was probably made in the 1920’s-1930’s as a souvenir item. The name Delft Blue was not protected and it was used in a great many factories, both in Holland and (far) beyond.This is not Delft, but with only the crown as a mark, I cannot be sure where it was made.
