  • 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

The markings are for De Delftse Pauw factory, although originally in Delft it was reopened in Rijswijk later. It was probably made in the last quarter of the 20th century.
