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
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? Read more
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

Merk:

  • Chemkefa

Dear Robert Leibbrandt

Chemkefa (Chemical Ceramic Factory) was established in Maastricht in 1969 by Leendert Zwikker, a former employee of the De Sphinx factory, which was also located in the same city. This followed the cessation of De Sphinx's production of household and decorative ceramics. So your plate is of rather recent manufacture.
