Jan Theunis Dextra genuine plate. Made as a copy of Chinese plates. Identical plates were also produced by De Metaale Pot and De Witte Starre in sizes from 22 to 40 centimetres

Thank you for your help! Of course, I confused Zacharias Dextra with Jan Teunis Dextra

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. 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 Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more

With thanks for the contributions of PatrickW and Jeroen Hartgers.

Jan Theunis Dextra, owner of the De Grieksche A (The Greek A) factory from 1757–1765, used several marks. In addition to ITD, he also employed a single D paired with a number, as seen on this plate.
