Reacties 3

Made as a souvenir for the city of Eindhoven, third quarter of the 20th century by the Delftse Pauw. The Delftse Pauw was founded by Theo Van Tienen in 1954 and was a pottery factory located in the Dutch province of South Holland, in Rijswijk along the Delftweg by the Delftsche Vliet from 1954 to 2021. Normally, D.P. has a mark with three stars, but in the early period, only D.P. was used, and sometimes a V and a T entangled was used instead ( = Van Tienen) . The painters' initials remain vague as only a few have been registered in public records.

However, I found someone who could be the painter: H.V. = Herman Veldhuis (Homeworker, before working for Velsen worked from 1946 till 1952 for The Porceleyne Fles in Delft. Worked with Velsen from 1952 till 1963. Was born on the 19th of November 1916 and died on the 28th of June 2002).

kind regards Franky

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • 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
  • 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 non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more
