Verdict:

  • Indeterminable

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
  • Mark is stamped Marks on antique Delftware are always hand-painted. Stamps were not used until the late 19th century. Read more

I would venture that these pieces are 20th century production. The mark on the back is not very legible, but definitely looks stamped, which tells us that it is from a later date (see explanation underneath the links above).

The other markings are also not legible, but could have anything to do with the production process: type numbers, to track painters or other artists working on these pieces.... Maybe someone else recognises these and could tell you a little more!

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more

  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? 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

This isn't Delftware. It is not hand painted and produced in the 20th century production.
