Hello,

I’m afraid this set is a (French) copy with a fake mark. Most likely made in the early 20th century.

Kind regards, Patrick 

Hello, I completely agree with Patrick.

The peacock, among other things, is one of the most forged/copied items when it comes to Delft pottery. The mark, colors, etc. do not match the original. Below are the marks that were used in the period 1705-1725. These could be different in an earlier or later period

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

Thanks for sharing this set.

It is indeed a French copy with a fake 'de Paauw' mark, made in the early 20th century.
