These are so-called peacock plates or tuber plates made by pottery factory de Klaauw from Delft. These date from the period at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. The sign with L:S was painted by Lambertus Sanderus, owner of the Klaauw between 1964 and 1806. The yellow border indicates a somewhat later production, around 1800.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. 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
  • 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 Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more

This plate is most likely made during the period that Lambertus Sanderus was owner of 'De Klaauw' (The Claw) factory between 1763 and 1806.
