Uw vaaas is gemaakt bij het bedrijf ’Delftse Pauw’( DP= initialen), in Rijswijk, provincie Zuid-Holland, onderglazuurschildering, de zogenaamde nieuwe techniek, het bedrijf werd in 1954 door een plateelschilder, afkomstig uit Nijmegen, opgericht, enkele jaren geleden ging het failliet, groet jvdh.

Your vase was made at the company 'Delftse Pauw' (DP = initials), in Rijswijk, province of South Holland, underglaze painting, the so-called new technique, the company was founded in 1954 by a pottery painter from Nijmegen, a few years ago went bankrupt, greetings jvdh.

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
  • 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
