Firstly, I am located in the US (Virginia) and acquired this piece in an auction from an antique store. It is a small bowl with simple, crudly hand-painted designs of birds, leaves, and flowers on the outside in blue, green, yellow, and pink. Inside is a geometric square design that is painted yellow, pink, and green.
The bowl has a lot of crazing. Damage around the edge indicates that this is not porcelain. The material seems gray and even reddish in some spots on the bottom. It is very light, weighing only 1lb. In my opinion it is very sloppily glazed near the bottom of the bowl.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • No mark visible No mark is visible in the photos. If it is present, please add some extra photos of the bottom or the back of the object.

I believe this piece originates from Iran.
