Porceleyne Fles Jug/Bottle. Bluish/green colour. Illustrated with windmill and 3 ladies in clogs on one side and tree on the reverse. Signed LB on the side of the bottle. Also has two marks of a cows head and two bottles.

Vraag

Is the signarure on the side of the bottle that of Lucas Bols - it looks similar to one on your website. What does the cows head and two bottles symbolise? I have identified Porcelyne Fles and Joost Thooft marks at base what do other x and v symbols mean. Is it a limited edition at the base it says G41 61?

Hello,

From 1880 until about 1940 the Porceleyne Fles produced special kruiken (crocks) for Bols. Yours was intended for the home market and these styles were made in very small quantities.

X is the year code which stands for 1902
LV is the painter’s initial and this bottle is painted by Johannes van Lijnschooten and he was employed for the Porceleyne Fles from 1889 until 1935.

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
