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

I think you are right about the aging and type of manufacturing of these plates. To be honest I don´t know from which factory these plates are. Probably Belgium or German. I don´t know the artist AD Heingraf. It´s probably not a Dutch artist, because then I would be able to find him in the RKD-database.

You should be able to see a grid, indeed. But it is also possible that some little details were added by hand. For example the name. But I believe most part of the decoration was printed.

Maybe my magnifying glass is not strong enough but only some parts of the clouds on one plate are similar to grid points. However, in my opinion they are not precise and regular enough. The darker parts and the snow seem hand-painted to me. I think I can see brushstrokes. Please do not understand me wrong. I am not interested in to find out the value of the plates, I just want to know more about their origins. Do you have an idea, where I can try to find out more?

Many thanks again and best regards
