This is Delft. probably dating from around the end of the 18th century. Chinoiserie with image of a Chinese garden. Creator unknown. The number is probably a number for internal use.

This is Delft. waarschijnlijk te dateren omstreeks eind 18de eeuw. Chinoiserie met afbeelding van een chinese tuin. Maker onbekend. Het nummer is waarschijnlijk een nummer voor intern gebruik.

kind regards Franky

Thank you, Franky. I thought the number was a bit casual to be anything indicative.

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
  • No mark visible No mark is visible in the photos. If it is present, please add some extra photos of the bottom or the back of the object.

Dear Mary Ellen,

Nice plaque! The number isn't an 'official' mark, but some sort of inventory number, as Franky suggested; for internal use probably. I expect this plaque to be made in the second haf of the 18th century.

Kind regards,

Delft around 1750. Very good quality !
