The vase is very damaged, grey coloured clay is visible under unusual (for me) light turquoise blue glaze.

Vraag

The mark is Van Duijn. Is this authentic?

It does indeed look authentic to me, it is a shame it has so much damage though.

Kind regards, Patrick 

Thank you!  Indeed pity that it was not well cared for, but offers us a chance to sneak-peek into the materials! It is beautiful anyway and I’m very proud to have it in my tiny delftware collection!

  • 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
  • Mark of a Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more
