This is made by pottery Oud Delft from Nijmegen around 1940. Handpainted but painter unknown. ( PI not listed )

This item has a missing lid and due to the mark in Englisch " Made in Holland " made for export. The number on top is a catalogue number and the number on the left most likely the order number.  The F is most likely an initial of the orderer to keep the entire order together.

Below the tea caddy as it is in the catalog

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • 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
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. 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

Merk:

  • Oud Delft
