This was made with de Porceleyne Fles from Delft  in the period of Thooft and Labouchère. (bottle of TL). Normally the painter is on the left of the logo and the year on the right, but for some reason they appear to be together here. I suspect that the painter is  J.W. Lispet who  painted there from 1887 till 1938. The year would then be Z (1904), which may correspond to the period. this is subject to change. Maybe someone else knows more details. greetings Franky
