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

Made at pottery company 'Oud Delft' in Nijmegen after 1968. This factory was founded in 1920 in Nijmegen, in 1996 the factory became Aardewerkfabriek 't Delftse Huys B.V. in Waddinxveen.

The mark symbolizes a potter's wheel with the word OLD above it and the name Delft below it. Before 1968, the mark was hand-painted and often included the painter's initials and letters that probably represent the year of manufacture. From 1968 the factory had a printed mark.
