dear,

 

This has been manufactures bij Boch. The sign is made of a B, F, K intertwined.

However there is a number that most probably refers to the painter, there is no such thing as a list of painters to tell for sure who painted it.

The clock has been made bij Verheyen Antwerp Belgium.

The item must be situated in te Art Nouveau period ( 1880 - 1910 )

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
  • 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

With thanks to Franky Stevelinck for the details
