am not completely sure, but I would dare to attribute this plate to Johannes Knotter who took over the porceleyne fles from the widow of Quirijn van Cleynhoven on February 5, 1697.

The origins of De porcelyene flès date back to 1653, when David Anthonisz transformed his house into a pottery factory for his son, who had become a member of the St. Luke Guild as a pottery baker, but with small succes. 

With the help of Johan Verburgh and Dirck Baans, Johannes Knotter brought the pottery bakery back into good fortune, but this was short-lived as Knotter died in 1701. The employees then transferred to the Greek A. in attachment a similar plate attributed to Johannes Knotter.

In 1655 the factory was taken over by Quirijn van Cleynhoven and Wouter van Eenhoorn, who quickly made it a success.

To be clear: the brand causes some doubt. Experts may know more about this.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more
