It is a rectangle that has a crown, a sailboat, and a windmill with the words:
Delft Blauw
Handpainted
Made in Holland
Written in the middle

Vraag

I am interested in the mark at the bottom and how do you find out the age of pieces.

This is made by NKI (Nederlandsche Keramische Industrie) and most probably around 1955. Factory existed from 1947 till 2001.

Please note, it is screen printed, not hand-painted, greetings jvdh.

Let op, is zeefdruk, niet handgeschilderd, groet jvdh.

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
