This one in particular is quite easy to spot as a fake, the mark is wrong, the colour blue too dark and the painting is quite messy. You can see the difference between this one and the link you’ve sent. APK is also one of the most common marks you see on reproductions so when you see that mark you already have to scratch yourself behind the ears.. Real Delft from Pieter Kocx is amongst one of the finest pieces made in that period so if it’s not of exceptional good quality than it’s most likely not real!

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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

Merk:

  • APK False

helaas een vervalsing
