Good evening,

Unfortunately your plate is not real Delftware. Original delftware is made in the 17-19th century in Delft by one of the factories described on this website. Your plate is made in Maastricht in the 20th century, I think it's also transferware and not hand painted.Twee emmertjes water halen is a traditional Dutch children's song.

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
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? 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

Thanks again to PatrickW for the correct answer to your question. This was made at Chemisch Keramisch Fabriek-Chemkefa (Maastricht), which was founded in 1969.
