a deep bowl with hand painted blue and white designs and an ochre stag in the centre bottom with date numbers 16 16 . Green foliage at the stags feet. Initials on the back read S.B.A.
Terracotta clay shows through on foot. 2 holes pierced in foot rim for hanging loop.

Vraag

I would like to know if this is Dutch and if so what sort of age, as I have found a 17th century plate with a very similar stag in the centre. I will post a photo of this too for comparison.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • 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
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more

It is not Dutch and doesn't seem to be from the period as dated. It is probably a 20th century souvenir object.
