Hello,

Your vase is made by Keramiekfabriek Velsen te Sassenheim in the mid 20th century. It’s not classified as authentic Delftware because it’s not made in Delft in the 17th-19th century. Values are not discussed on this website.

Kind regards, Patrick

De plateelschilder was Niek Turenhout, groet, jvdh.

The pottery painter was Niek Turenhout, regards, jvdh.
