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

The words 'Delft' here refer to the style 'Delftware', not that it was made in Delft (which it was not). The 5355 stamp most likely refers to the type of product. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to tell where this has originated from as many companies produce 'Delft style' ceramics (for the export/tourist market). Maybe a reverse image search might give you more answers.
