Dear Daniella, your ashtray is not authentic Delftware, but is new, after 1950/1960, hand-painted, underglaze painting, the so-called new technique, the mark is stamped, probably made in Gouda, greetings, Jan van den Heuvel.

Geachte Daniella, uw asbak behoort niet tot het authentiek delfts aardewerk, maar is nieuw, na 1950/1960, wel handgeschilderd, onderglazuurschildering, de zgn. nieuwe techniek, merk is gestempeld, waarschijnlijk in Gouda gemaakt, groet jan van den heuvel.
