Behoort niet tot het authentiek delfts aardewerk uit de periode van circa 1650-1850, is nieuw, gemaakt bij Plateelbakkerij ’Schoonhoven’ te Schoonhoven, na 1945, volledig handgeschilderd, onderglazuurschildering, de zogenaamde nieuwe techniek, waarvoor gebruikt? snoepjes? bonbons? Geen initialen van de plateelschilder(es), PS=Plateelbakerij Schoonhoven, groet jvdh.

Does not belong to the authentic delft pottery from the period around 1650-1850, is new, made at Plateelbakkerij 'Schoonhoven' in Schoonhoven, after 1945, completely hand-painted, underglaze painting, the so-called new technique, what was it used for? sweets? Chocolates? No initials of the pottery painter(s), PS=Plateelbakerij Schoonhoven, greetings jvdh.

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

Agreed with Jan van den Heuvel. The numbers 1771 is a production mark, not the production date. Similar shapes in silver are known a bonbonieres.
