Blue wall plate with mother/grandmother sitting with 2 children at table.

Vraag

I'm struggling with all the markings on the reverse. Letter NN at the top, letters XJ bottom left, the number 1000 and the reverse letter B.
Would that be year code BR 1947?

Year code is R= 1896, copied more or less from the work of the painter David Adolf Constant Artz (1837-1890), title of painting: 'At grandmother', Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum. Pottery painter: apparently L. E. F. Bodart. Strongly crackled, greetings jvdh.

Jaarcode is R= 1896, gekopieerd naar min of meer werk van de kunstschilder David Adolf Constant Artz (1837-1890), titel schilderij: ’Bij grootmoeder’, Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum. Plateelschilder: zo te zien L. E. F. Bodart. Sterk gecraqueleerd, groet jvdh.''''

  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
