Heavily fritted border; chinese-style decoration; 3 spur marks as seen on Dutch pieces, but also an unglazed foot rim; marked on the back but I have not been able to identify it.

Vraag

This plate has many similarities with delft ware but I am not sure it is Dutch. I bought it with some antique French plates. Can anyone please help me to identify this piece? Thank you.

Thank you to anyone who looked.  I will assume that it is not from Holland.

 

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

Does seem to be a perfectly nice 18th century Delft plate 😃

Hi Robert,

Thank you very much for your reply!  I have been searching for similar items made in other countries, but all the comparisons were unconvincing and I kept returning to the idea that it is Delft.  I really appreciate your confirming that for me.  Thank you!

Best wishes,

Julia
