Hello,

You have a very nice pair of rare and collectible vases made by the Porceleyne Fles in Delft. One is painted by Mr. J.C. v. Dijk who painted between 1887 and 1931. The other one is painted by Mr. P.C.M. Fouw and he worked at the Porceleyne Fles between 1883 and 1931. The style is called Porselein-Biscuit. I’ll upload a bit more information shortly.

Kind regards, Patrick

 

Thank you ever so much! I had not succeeded in interpreting the marks and over the years have looked at many many pictures of Delft vases and not seen anything like the patterns on my vases. I am so glad I found out. The vases were my grandmothers.

Thank you again.

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
  • Not earthenware Delftware is often confused with other types of ceramics, such as porcelain or creamware. Delftware is earthenware with a layer of tin glaze. 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

Thank you for your contribution Patrick!
