Decoratie

Lovely small pitcher wonderfully decorated in blue and white with traditional decorations and makers mark on base. Crazing and flow style tin glaze on buff body indicate age and possibly authentic delftware.

Vraag

Can anyone identify makers mark; if yes what is it? It is not in index. Please add mark to index if this is an authentic Delft piece.

Is nieuw, waar gemaakt is onbekend, het makers merk ken ik niet, wel volledig handgeschilderd, ondergazuurschildering, de zogenaamde nieuwe techniek, tweede helft 20e eeuw, groet jvdh.

Is new, where made is unknown, I don't know the maker's mark, but completely hand-painted, underglaze painting, the so-called new technique, second half of the 20th century, greeting 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
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

Nothing to add to the identification — or lack therefore — of Mr. Van den Heuvel.
