I found it while traveling in the Netherlands.

Vraag

I am curious to know if this plate with the Cornucopia on it was made in Delft.

This plate is a copy or reproduction in the style of polychrome Delftware. The use of colour and the style of painting suggest that it is more of a decorative piece of a later date than an original 17th- or 18th-century Delft plate.
Thus, a 20th-century decorative reproduction in Delft style, possibly originating from France, Belgium or Italy, where much of this type of pottery was also produced (e.g. Faïence de Quimper in France sometimes shows similar scenes).

Below are some examples of authentic plates (source: Open Air Museum Netherlands)

Dear Franky,

Thank you for your report. It’s so helpful.

 

 

Made in Désvres ( Northern-France) by the Martel company. Around 1920.

Dear R.L.A. Maes,
