a hand painted miniature "teapot" liquor bottle, has the cork in it, flat back for hanging, instant hanging hole, closed off "teapot" end. (DELFTS 30 on the bottom)

Vraag

Is it a real piece of Blue Delft? How old? (I'm guessing the 30 means it was made in 1930's?) and can you tell where it was made without a mark? maybe the hand writing?

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • 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

It is not authentic Delftware, but was probably made as a souvenir in the 20th century. Whether it was made in Delft and what the '30' stands for I am afraid I do not know.

The shape of the object is that of a 'stroopkan', used to pour syrup.
