Royal Delft peacock plate

Vraag

I would like to know if this plate is a real Royal Delft and, if so, what year was it made? Is it 1944 as it says on the back, or is that number meaning something else?
Also, who is the painter?

Your plate is indeed made by the Porceleyne Fles in Delft, but in 1963 instead (year code CH). The painter is Mr. A van Gent who worked at the PF between 1953 and 1965. The number 1944 is a number for internal use.

Kind regards, Patrick 

Thank you Patrick for your quick reply!
Nice to hear it's real :)

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, but made after 1850 After 1850, the earthenware production technique changed at the only remaining pottery in Delft. This technique goes beyond the scope of this website. 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
