Verdict:

  • Delftware

  • 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

The plate is not original (17th-18th) century Delftware, but was made in Delft by the pottery factory De Porceleyne Fles (currently Royal Delft). The letters CL refer to the year in which it was made, 1967. The letters RSA are the painter's initials, but I have not been able to identify them.
