this is a vase decorated with three scenes: a view of a landing, and two gallant scenes. the decorations on the collar are blue on a white background. The same blue for the scenes, but togheter with a background looking like a light blue tending to white.

Vraag

I would like to know who made the vase, which workshop it was and the year of production. And what was the reputation of the designer if known.

Afmetingen
The vase is 47.5 cm high. At its widest point it has a diameter of 30 cm. The vase is octagonal, with each face uniformly convex. with strong narrowing at the apex and base.

This is a replica vase possibly made in Northern France at the end of the 19th Century. It has a fake mark of a non-existent factory at the bottom. I do not believe the intensions of the makers were upright.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

Thank you for your contribution Jeroen Hartgers. I fully agree.
