Not Delftware
Plate15 July 2024

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • 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
  • 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

Merk:

  • Schoonhoven

This piece is marked with the PS monogram and crown of the Schoonhoven Pottery (Plateelbakkerij Schoonhoven). Although I cannot tell you the exact age etc. (hopefully others will know more) I have linked the pottery mark above so you may inspect other pieces that might bear the same decoration and serial mark.

Verdict:

Dank Jan voor het detail in de kroon, dat was mij anders ontgaan! Maar inderdaad, omdat het merk gestempeld is kunnen we antiek Delfts aardewerk uitsluiten.

Op basis van de opzet van het merk kan ik er zelf helaas verder niks over zeggen, maar wellicht weet een van de andere gebruikers van de website het. Wat ik u verder kan aanraden - als u dat niet al heeft gedaan - is via de Merkenindex voorbeelden van werk van Ram opzoeken. Wellicht herkent u de specifieke uitvoering van het merk daartussen.

Decanter 28 April 2024

  • 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.

Based on the pictures, this looks like 20th century ceramic production for the export market. The decanter features a windmill, which was sought after as a representation of the Dutch landscape. I cannot tell whether the windmill scene is handpainted or transfer print, but the material of the decanter definitely suggests modern production techniques where the clay is poured into moulds rather than handformed or thrown. This is a surefire indication of post-antique production in the 'Delft style'.
