  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. Read more

This is what we call a pauwenbord, which refers to a peacock. Many of these were made around 1770-1800. The mark refers to the factory de Porceleyne Clauw, which refers to a claw.
