Analysis:

  • Delftware, but made after 1850 After 1850, the earthenware production technique changed at the only remaining pottery in Delft. This technique goes beyond the scope of this website. 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 Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more

Your pitcher is not historic Delftware but was made in Delft by the factory De Delftse Pauw (The Delft Peacock). The factory opened in 1954 and went bankrupt just a couple of years ago. 

Dear Esther,

Thank you so much for the information regarding our pitcher.  It was very kind of you and we appreciate it greatly!

Cheers,

Gary
