Vraag

Dear All,
please help me to identify this vase.
I suppose it was made in one of Delft factories.
But I can not identify the mark, so, I can not estimate, how old is it.
Please help, if possible.
Thank you.
Peter

This is made by Makkum Tichelaar Friesland probably painted by Lolke Eeuwke De Groot who painted from 1893 till 1947.  To date somwhere in this period.

It is a gourd vase that was available with different decors.

regards Franky

Dear Franky,

thank you very much for your precise information. It means - if I understood well - this vase is not a typical Delft item, but Delft style item.

Have a nice evening

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. Read more
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

Just like Delft the northern Dutch province Friesland also has a long tradition of producing earthenware with decorations on tin glaze. Tichelaar is the oldest factory and is still in business  (but nowadays produces primarily architectural ceramics).

Dear Yupiter, 

your assesment is right, the style refers to Delftware, but it was made in Makkum and later.
