Hello,

Made by the Porceleyne Fles in Delft in 1892 (year code N). The painter’s initial is on the left of the trademark. Under the jar you see JT, which stands for Joost Thooft, the owner of the factory.

Kind regards, Patrick 

Thank you very much Patrick. I forgot to include the picture of the signature at the bottom of the tile. Does this change anything?

Thanks, Tom TSignature  

Hi,

No, "Naar" means after, so the tile is copy of a painting made by the name written there (I struggle to read the surname).

Kind regards, Patrick

Verdict:

  • Delftware

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

I read the inscription as "naar (after) M. Schouman", which might refer to the Dutch marine painter Martinus Schouman. 

'Hi Tom, perhaps it is usefull. The painter is: A.C. van Bergen van der grijp ( 1889 - 1918)

Best wishes, Nico
