This is Delft van de Porceleyne Fles from 1933. This plate is an "A" decor, which means that it was sold cheaper because of a slightly lower quality. The decor was probably painted by Guérin and the edge by Lijnschoten. That's why there are two initials. I suspect 888 is an internal number and the board was made to order. The sets were often painted in the studio by the permanent employees and further finished by a painter who continued the finishing at home. People could then pick up the items to be painted, receive the necessary paint (cobalt) and return the rest together with the finished pieces. these were then glazed and refired.

It's possible that the customer specialy asked for this decor and already had an agreement on the price.

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
  • 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 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
