Hello,

The bowl is made by Oosterloo at the Porceleyne Fles factory in Delft. The style is called “Nieuw Delfts Lustre” and it looks like your bowl combines lustre glazes and Reflet Métallique glazes. See page 219 of Royal Delft, A guide to the Porceleyne Fles by Rick Erickson. They are unique pieces and highly collectible.

  • Delftware

  • 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

Thanks to Patrick for his expert opinion and interesting contribution!
