Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced 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

Dear Kristina, again a nice example of an intruiging mark. It is most likely the monogram RAAM, a facotry operating from Göppingen in Germany (the mark usually contains a windmill, but the letters of Delfts blauw match). The book 'Discovering Dutch Delftware' by Stephen J. Van Hook mentions RAAM made handpainted Delftware from circa 1945-1980s. Possibly the factory worked with designs of the Dutch factory Plateelbakkerij Ram, which used a similar mark.
