Dear Regina,

I’m afraid the vase is a copy with a fake mark (APK) from Pieter Kocx: https://delftsaardewerk.nl/merk/apk-vals

A few things immediately give this away such as the colours, the mark and the glaze.

Kind regards, Patrick 

Dear Patrick,

I greatly appreciate your professional assessment. I thought as much . 
 

Now I have to consider what to do with it! I assume it has no value on the market. Perhaps some other relative would be interested.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to answer my query. 

Best regards,

Regina

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

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