Bols Delft Blue hand-painted jug bottle

Vraag

I want to identify this item's individual maker, factory and year it was made. There is what appears to be a handwritten mark. I'm unsure if the 1st character is a 'b' or '6'. Also, the last character could be 'B' or '13'.

Thank you
Mark

Please note, it is not hand-painted, 'scr.handpaitend' means 'screen printing and some light tints with a brush', second half of the 20th century, made at Plateelbakkerij Zenith in Gouda for Bols, distiller of alcohol, Amsterdam. Greetings, jvdh.

Let op, is niet handgeschilderd, ’scr.handpaitend’ houdt in ’zeefdruk en wat licht tinten met penseel’, tweede helft 20e eeuw, gemaakt bij Plateelbakkerij Zenith te Gouda voor Bols, destillateur van alcohol, Amsterdam. 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
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? 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
