  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • 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
  • 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

This jar was produced in Germany by the Wächtersbacher ('Waechtersbach') Steingutfabrik in Schlierbach. They produced stoneware, porcelain and ceramic products. This mark was in use at the end of the 19th/ beginning of the 20th century.
