Your pot dates back to beginning of the 20th Century or the end of the 19th Century. It is a copy of delftware vase. The mark is a non existent mark. The people that copied the vases had no idea who they were copying and put a random signature on it. The only potter with a signature close this one is Johannes Knotter, who marked his work with K and an “i” in the standing part of the letter K, which creates a K with a dot on it. In the mark index on this website, the iK mark can be found.

Thank you Jeroen for your feedback. What features of this pot distinguish it from an 18th century Delft pot ?
Always the same points:
I noticed this vase on an antiques website for 380 €. It makes me sad to see that at least half of the items are fakes. What happened to vetting?

You know Jeroen, half of the items are fake because real Delftware experts are rare in the antique market and anyone who finds any white and blue earthenware thinks of Delftware
