Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. 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.

Based on the pictures, this looks like 20th century ceramic production for the export market. The decanter features a windmill, which was sought after as a representation of the Dutch landscape. I cannot tell whether the windmill scene is handpainted or transfer print, but the material of the decanter definitely suggests modern production techniques where the clay is poured into moulds rather than handformed or thrown. This is a surefire indication of post-antique production in the 'Delft style'.
