  • 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

Thanks to Mr. Maes for his reaction. The mark does not point to a specific factory or person as far as we know. Just a couple of lines on the back. This type of plates was purely used as decoration in around 1800.
