Small teapot with lid and pillar-like warmer with a small "heater", probably for oil, in the bottom of the pillar. Blue, floral decorations. Signed underneath with a mark I can't find anywhere, and "Delft" and "Handpainted" obviously handpainted underneath with a double line above and a wavy line underneath

Vraag

This was found in a cupboard at my in-laws home. It is too late to ask where it came from, but my late father-in-law was Dutch. It was never used or displayed in the home, but kept stucked away. We would like to know more. Age? Production place? If hand-painted, the artist? We do not want to sell, but it would be good to know approximate value, if any.

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
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. 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

We have also received feedback elsewhere that it may be early 1900 century. I know Delft-labels are put on earthenware from other places than Delft, including England. It must have been picked up by the family in the Netherlands and has been in the family for more than 70 years, perhaps longer. We hoped to get more detailed info, but it is still family heirloom anyway. Thank you for this information.
