Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • Unidentified mark Not all marks found on earthenware have been identified. It could be a ‘new’ Delft mark! But it could also be a mark that was not used in Delft. Read more

This pair is inspired on eighteenth century polychrome Delft ceramics, but they aren't authentic. They are made by an unidentified company in the 20th century.
