Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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

Dear Victoria, thank you for the foto's of the large pedestal vase and cover. The mark, decoration and material point to a European production center outside of the Netherlands. Unfortunately I cannot help you identifying the mark, it is unknown to me. Perhaps visitors of this website will recognize it and could help you further. 
Is there an inscription along the outer foot rim? could you add a photo of this? thank you!
