Vraag

I am confused on the year mark. There is a "L" and also a "DN" on the back. Seller claimed it's from late 90s'. Well "L" stands for 1890, and "DN" stands for 1994. The plate itself looks old with crackles.

It's from a big store at Delft selling both new and antique items.

Anyone can shed a light here on the built year?

Many thanks!

Hi Lee, I think you're right with the year code being L for 1890. That amount of crackle doesn't appear on a piece from 1994. The painter's initial looks like a DW to me which ties in with J. de Wilde who worked for the porceleyne fles between 1886 and 1901. 

Kind regards, Patrick

 

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
