Vraag

Hello, what a wonderful site. I am trying to determine if this Pharmacy Jar is 1800s Dutch Delft, or 1900s early Oud Delft.

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

Your jar was made by the factory Oud Delft in Nijmegen, around the middle of the 20th century. 

Het antwoord van de redacteur mevr. Van der Hoorn moet wat bijgesteld worden, niet alles is de nieuwe techniek bij de vervaardiging van deze apothekerspot, de handbeschildering, is min of meer de meeste arbeid aan een product, is op de ruwe glazuur gedaan, de oude techniek, in de klei-afdeling zal gietklei zijn gebruikt, de nieuwe techniek. Groet, jvdh.

The editor's response, Mrs. Van der Hoorn needs some adjustment, not everything is new technology in the manufacture of this apothecary jar, the hand painting is more or less the most work on a product, was done on the raw glaze, the old technique, in the clay department will have used molding clay, the new technique. Regards, jvdh.

Thank you both for your comments, live well and prosper
