Sorry, Unfortunately a  20th. century replica/copy. Regards, E. 

Probably made  in Friesland by Tichelaar / Makkum.

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

As mr. Van Drecht remarks indeed produced at the Frisian factory of Tichelaar & Tichelaar – now named Royal Tichelaar Makkum.
