This is not Delft. Rather German or Czech. Judging by the photos, it is more of a porcelain and not pottery.

Your porcelain dish was produced by Greiner & Söhne, Friedrich Christian in Thüringen, some time between 1890 and 1930. The decoration is in the style of Blau Saks, a very common pattern on porcelain.
