Platter with a little weight. Slight grazing and one very small spot on edge where the glaze has come off.

Vraag

I would like this dated and value. Also I cannot read the stamp in corner other than the WZ.

The platter is made by the Porceleyne Fles in Delft using the "new technique". It is painted by L.G.N. ten Dam (♂ 1890-1918). The yearcode AD is for 1908. The stamp in the corner is most likely used by the people that made the blank. But there's not much information why they stamped it. Valuations are not given on this website.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, but made after 1850 After 1850, the earthenware production technique changed at the only remaining pottery in Delft. This technique goes beyond the scope of this website. 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
  • 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

Thanks again to PatrickW!

The platter is made for Erven Lucas Bols, a distillery founded in 1575 (that's what the owners say...)
