Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • 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
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • Possibly false mark It is not always possible to confirm whether a mark is authentic, as ‘older’ marks were added to earthenware in the 19th century. Read more

Dear Pat G.,

One thing I'm sure about this is not Dutch delftware. Probably the fake mark AP for pottery De Twee Scheepjes was used on this object. It looks French to me, but I don't know the meaning of the other marks. If this is a French copy, this vase was probably made in the late 19th /around the 20th century.
