Dear Gareth,

The mark is a little difficult to distinguish due to the quality of the picture. Could you provide a close-up?

Thanks! Lisa

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
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

Not a known Delft mark. Based on the style and composition of the decorations, made after 1850. 

Interesting that there seems to be a color difference within the blue decorations.
