Uw vaas behoort niet tot het authentieke delfts aardewerk uit circa 1650-1850, maar is nieuw, onderglazuurschildering, de zogenaamde nieuwe techniek, gemaakt na 1950 bij Kunstaardewerkfabriek ’Velsen’ te Sassenheim, provincie Zuid-Holland, Nederland. Waarschijnlijk hoorde er een deksel bij, de plateelschilder was zeer waarschijnlijk Piet Wassenaar. De voorgeschiedenis van het bedrijf , met iets andere namen en andere eigenaren en andere produkten (art deco) en een andere plaats (Velsen, provincie Noord-Holland) liep vanaf 1920, het bedrijf stopte in 2002/2003, groet jvdh.

Your vase does not belong to the authentic Delft earthenware from around 1650-1850, but is new, underglaze painting, the so-called new technique, made after 1950 at Kunstaardewerkfabriek 'Velsen' in Sassenheim, province of South Holland, the Netherlands. It probably came with a lid, the pottery painter was most likely Piet Wassenaar. The history of the company, with slightly different names and different owners and other products (art deco) and a different place (Velsen, province of North Holland) ran from 1920, the company stopped in 2002/2003, greetings jvdh.

Thank you so much for this information! now I can research it bit more:)

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
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more
