Zwart Delft or "Famille Noir" has been known since the 17th century and was reintroduced in 1978. 
This was the 325th anniversary of Royal Delft " De Porceleyne Fles.
Zwart Delft was made in a limited edition and is therefore quite unique. Barring a mistake, I do indeed suspect forgeries here. The edges are not painted and the signature as well as the year code are incorrect. The glaze, just like the decoration, doesn't seem authentic to me either.

Zwart Delft of "Famille Noir" is bekend sinds de 17e eeuw en werd in 1978 opnieuw geïntroduceerd. 
Dit was het 325-jarig bestaan van Royal Delft " De Porceleyne Fles.
Zwart Delft werd in beperkte oplage gemaakt en is dus vrij uniek. behoudens vergissing vermoed ik hier inderdaad vervalsingen. De randen zijn niet meegeschilderd en de signatuur alsook de jaarcode klopt niet. Ook het glazuur lijkt mij net als de decoratie niet authentiek.

kind regards Franky

Dear Adrian,

This style is called Black Scratch Delftware, they are real and in fact rarer than the style Franky mentioned. Please see the photos below, taken from page 228 from the book Royal Delft, A guide to De Porceleyne Fles by Rick Erickson.

Thanks Patrick, I was familiar with the black of Delft, but not the scratch black. So you see, I learned something new :-). I urgently need to buy myself that book.

Bedankt Patrick, Het zwart Delfts was mij bekend doch het scratch zwart niet. zo zie je maar, weer iets bijgeleerd :-). Ik moet me dringend dat boek aanschaffen . 

kind Regards, Franky

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
  • 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
  • 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
