Dear Rosew, what are the dimensions of the tiles. And is it possible to see the back of the tile panel?

Dear Johan, thank you for your reply. I took the tile panel out of the frame. Its dimensions are 60*45cm, and each tile is 15*15cm. The strip-like band on the back appears to be made of clay.the back Additionally, the street surface in the painting seems to resemble some letters, could it be the artist's signature?  street surface detail

Please allow me to add two more photos for your reference.back other detail

The scene is painted in the traditional technique with tin glaze on porous tiles, formed from plastic clay. The dimensions of these tiles were traditionally approximately 13 x 13 cm, from the end of the 19th century they were also made in dimensions of 6 inches (the standard size of industrially pressed tiles).

There is no signature or factory mark, but possibly a model number. I suppose first half of the 20th century in Harlingen, Makkum or Utrecht, the scene is unknown to me. Sometimes it is written below the scene: painted after ... [artist's name], that information is also missing here.

Dear Johan,

Thank you for your information!

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
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more

With thanks to Johan Kamermans for his detailed response.
