Blue and white egg cup with unusual bottom.

Vraag

I don't see the mark in any online research I've done. Is there anything unusual about this piece?

this one is made at the Zenith pottery factory in Gouda. Originally a pipe factory that later changes to blue and white earthenware to Delft's décor. The factory was closed in 1984.

Very often egg cups, windmill"s a.o. were made as Holland souvenir.

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
  • 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

With thanks to Franky and Patrick for their contribution.
