Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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

This item is not Delftware. We are aware of one other piece with the same mark, also featuring brass, which can be seen here: Delfts Blauwe Gaslamp. Unfortunately, the mark itself remains unidentified so far. Given the German clockwork mechanism, we suspect the item may have a German origin.
