The plate was bought from a street vendor in Jakarta in 1967. It seems primitive in design. More green than blue hues.

Vraag

Is it Delftware? If not, what might be the provenance? Might this plate have been brought by a colonial era family OR was there a formal ceramic trade between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies company during that time?

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

I agree with Patrick. It is a replica, Most likely made by Geo Martel, Desvres, France.
