Hello, Looks to me like a Dutch delftware majolica dish from the mid/second half of 17th. century and mostly likely a Frisian production/Harlingen as the reverse side is covered with tin-glaze too. Your photo is upside down and you can see a primitiv painted farmhouse. On the front, typical for Dutch majolica, you can see the 3 prunt marks on the front. Yes, naive painted but, to my opinion, a rare and interesting dish. Keep it in good condition!. Regards, Edwin. Ps. Also in London they made these wares but I think it is a Dutch/Frisian example.
Inderdaad vals. 20e eeuw. Mogelijk gemaakt in Noord Frankrijk. Als er wel een merk op had gestaan dan kan het nog steeds vals zijn.

Hello Lee, No, Unfortunately it is not possible to say in which town these plates were made. A said in many places these full tin-glaze products were made in The Netherlands. The date I gave you is pretty accurate: 1660-1680. With kind regards, Edwin van Drecht.
Your plate is Dutch, 1660-1680. These wares were NOT only made in Delft but blue and white wares were made also in Haarlem, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Middelburg etc etc. Nice plate! Regards, E.
Maybe interesting to see this Delft charger, 1720, 35cm of a Beer? barrel factory. Not marked. Regards, E.

Dear Kevin and others, Thank you! Since early age I am interested in early Delft, material before 1660 and always liked these chargers. For that reason I was so happy that I managed to acquire a perfect, near identical charger, See photo. Mine is in mint condition, zero restoration. With kind regards, Edwin van Drecht. Ps. Also published in my book, 1993.
Hello Kevin, Jeroen and others. Thank you. Jonathan Horne was THE EXPERT on English Delftware but not on Dutch Delft. Therefore he always consulted me, I am always happy to help, answer immediately and never ask a penny. Inscription: De Smaeck means: The taste...'T Gehoor means: hearing/sound. These 2 chargers belong to a serie of THE SENSES, Feel, taste, sound, smell and vision/to see. Regards, Edwin.
