Vraag

I have inherited maybe old figures. In determining what exactly they all are I was brought here. I'm wondering if these are genuine delftware.

Is nieuw, tweede helft vorige eeuw of nog later, heeft niets van doen met het authentieke delfts aardewerk uit circa 1650-1850, wel penseelwerk maar mogelijk ook iets van zeefdruk, ook merk is stempel of zeefdruk, komt waarschijnlijk uit het verre Oosten, China, Japan, Thailand, groet jvdh.

Is new, second half of the previous century or later, has nothing to do with the authentic delft pottery from around 1650-1850, with brushwork but possibly also something of screen printing, the brand is also a stamp or screen printing, probably comes from the Far East, China , Japan, Thailand, greetings jvdh.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

These objects are quite recently made for the tourist industry. It is not authentic Delftware

I don't know what a paint bell is, but it looks like a butter bell.  They're filled with butter, stored in small plate of water to seal off, if ants are a problem.  Works well in moderate temperatures, rather than the hard refrigerator butter.
