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
  • Mark is stamped Marks on antique Delftware are always hand-painted. Stamps were not used until the late 19th century. Read more

You are correct in your assumptions! The mark is stamped for one, which tells you that it cannot be made before a certain period (stamps were not used in the time of antique Delftware). Furthermore, the mention of 'Delft' or any variation is almost always a telltale sign that something is not made in Delft. Rather, it refers to the style of Delftware.
