Good evening,

I have a strong suspicion that these are imitations made in the early 20th century. France would be the number one suspect for Delft imitations. The mark on the bottom looks like a copy of APK, Adrianus Kocx from the Grieksche A.

I am still learning as well so hopefully someone else who is more knowledgeable than me on this website could confirm the authenticity.

 

Thank you.
I do appreciate inclusion and hearing people’s point of view.  In this case though  I’m hoping we have bone fide pottery, faience and delft and porcelain experts as those who weigh in.  
is there anyone with that expertise seeing this? A Delft expert? 
many thanks. 

This is a modern copy, probably French , XX th century, with a fake mark.

Kind regards,

 

Your field is fascinating. What school or institution have you studied with? 
i saw you were mentioned as an expert and would like to understand your background please.  Thank you for the comments and opinion too. 
best

There is no school or institution to learn this. I was a keen collector of  Dutch tiles when I was a student and I  had the opportunity to help a reputed expert and dealer in Delftware and haute epoque.  Try to read and see as much as possible in museums, auction houses and fairs . Do not be afraid to ask dealers to share  their knowledge and experience. 

Succes,

 

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

Copy, probably France, twentieth century. Fake mark APK of Pieter Kocx (Delft factory De Grieksche A, 1701-1722).
