This is not authentic Delft but made by De Delftse Pauw. De Delftse Pauw was a pottery factory located in the Dutch province of South Holland, in Rijswijk on the Delftweg along the Delftsche Vliet from 1954 to 2021. This is north of the center of Delft near the municipal border with Rijswijk. It was one of the few pottery factories that continued the tradition of completely hand-painted Delft pottery. Founded in 1954 by Theo van Tienen.

This chandelier dates from the last quarter of the 20th century.

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

  • 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
