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

Sadly this is not an authentic Delftware item. The objects originally produced between 1650 and 1850 were coveted around the globe and a completely new industry emerged in the late 19th century. Factories all over the country and (far) beyond started producing objects in imitation of the original wares. This plaque is most probably from around 1900.
