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
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

Hi Steve, sadly this a an imitation made around or slightly after 1900. The plate and mark also don’t match as the original plates are from around 1775 while the AK mark can be dated almost 100 years earlier: 1687 through 1701. Thank you for sharing it here.

This would be a northern French or German copy.
