Found amongst my grandmother’s possessions. She has been to Europe a few times and this was kept in her china cabinet.

This is not genuine Delft but has been made bij Mathijs de Wit uit Gouda. 1961-
2000.

The factory was sold to Animo/Montagne in 2000.

kind regards Franky

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
  • 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

Thanks for your response, Franky!
