This is not authentic Delft pottery, it is new, screen printing, light shades worked up with a brush, no value is given here, greetings JVDH.

Is geen authentiek delfts aardewerk, is nieuw, zeefdruk, lichte tinten opgewerkt met penseel, er wordt hier geen waarde gegeven, 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

Such liquor bottles for Bols - a famous Dutch genever producer - were produced by Flora pottery in Gouda, rather than Delft. As Jan has also mentioned, we do not say anything about value on this platform, as our goal is to inform, not appraise.
