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
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more
  • Can not be determined based on current information To properly assess this object, more information or more or better photos are needed.

Without a clear mark (it could be 'A.') and therefore knowledge of the factory/maker it's impossible to understand the numbers/ code. It looks relatively modern and made for the tourist industry.
