  • Not earthenware Delftware is often confused with other types of ceramics, such as porcelain or creamware. Delftware is earthenware with a layer of tin glaze. 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

This object isn't made in Delft, it's made of porcelain. There are several European factories (mainly in Germany and following Meissen) with a mark with crossed swords (such as Rudolstadt, Mauksch and Tournai)
