Vraag

Is this a false AK or does AK signify the year it was made (1915)?

Hello,

That’s a fake mark as you mentioned. It’s not made by the Porceleyne Fles either who uses letters to signify dates.

Kind regards, Patrick

Thank you.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

Ik ben een beetje verward over de vertaling naar het Engels: naar uw mening, is dit handgeschilderd? Dank u voor uw hulp en expertise.

Your pleated dish is hand-painted, greetings jvdh.

Uw plooischotel is handgeschilderd, groet jvdh.
