Hi Steven,

I think the plate is late 20th century transferware from South Africa, I have seen plates like yours before and they often originate from SA. There's not much information to be found on the company oude molen fabriek b.v. 

Kind regards,
Patrick

Thank you Patrick. I'll look into that.

 

Verdict:

  • Indeterminable

Analysis:

  • 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

Dear Steven, thank you for sharing the photos of your plate. The mark was unknown to me. Many thanks to Patrick for identifying it as Oude Molen Fabriek BV. As he already mentioned we also couldn't find any additional information on the history or location of this factory. Perhaps visitors of this website will share their knowledge with us in the future. Will keep an eye out! Great to hear these plates show up in South Africa.
