Is nieuw, niet in Delft gemaakt maar in Nijmegen bij ''Potterie Oud Delft''. Ik twijfel of het handgeschilderd is, kan het niet goed zien, kan plakplaat zijn, tweede helft 20e eeuw, groet jvdh.

Is new, not made in Delft but in Nijmegen at ''Potterie Oud Delft''. I doubt if it is hand-painted, can't see it well, could be decal, second half of the 20th century, greetings jvdh.

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
  • 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
  • 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

Sometimes it is simply unclear if an object is entirely, partly or not at all hand painted. Usually Mr. Van den Heuvel can tell, but apparently even he is not infallible 😉. What we are clear of is that it was made at Potterie Oud Delft, which was founded in Nijmegen in 1920 and moved to Waddinxveen,  where it operated though 1996. It is not an authentic piece of Delftware.
