Yes, that's a vase from the sandelfo collection which was designed and made by Herman Sanders at the Porceleyne Fles in Delft.

The dollar sign is Herman Sander's initial
CK is the year code for 1966
1743 is the collection code
The porceleyne fles' mark is the little jar with JT (Joost Thooft) and then Delft underneath

It's a nice and collectible item.

Thank you, Patrick, for your prompt and thorough reply. I am glad that the mystery (and my vague recollection of the purchase of the vase) has been solved. I had searched every site in the U.S. that mentioned Delft without finding anything similar to my vase. I am so glad that you recognized the vase and shared your knowledge about its origin. Much appreciated. Jennifer

  • 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
  • Mark of a Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more
