Just found this vase and wanted to rescue it. Noticed a couple of things and wondered if anyone can help. Nice sound, no chips.

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

Thank you for sharing your vase with us. The mark doesn’t tell us much as it cannot be identified at this point. Anyway, we can be certain that it is not a Delftware vase. When one sees a mould line on the base of a vase, it is clear that the producers did not make enough effort to clean it up, which indicates, I am sorry to say, an inferior quality. Keep on rescuing blue and white objects and upload them here for our assessment.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the information, didn't really believe it to be Delft but thought someone may know about it's origins. Anyway you gave me some great information to use should I be lucky enough to find something in future.
