Blue and white bowl with scallopped edge and floral decoration with two birds.

Vraag

I know that this is at least 50 years old but is this a really old bowl, or a modern reproduction?

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

Although this very much looks like a Delft piece and it says ‘Delfts Blauw,’ it sadly is not an original Delft piece. It’ll be around 50 years old as you stated.
