Vraag

I believe this jar is 19th century, but would like to know anything more specific about its origin and date. In 2023 FrankyStevelinck posted a similar one with decoration on both sides, which he thought to be from northern France circa 1830. Thank you!

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • No mark visible No mark is visible in the photos. If it is present, please add some extra photos of the bottom or the back of the object.

Thank you for your post. While I am fairly certain this jar was not made in Delft, I am unable to provide further details. Based on the style of painting and the smooth finish, I would expect it to date from the 20th century rather than the 19th.
