Zie hier de achtergrond informatie uit van Wotra en het gebruik van het merk van De Swaen uit Jan Pluis, Nederlandse Tegels 1900-2000' , Leiden, 2008, pp-185-186. Het potje is 'gesigneerd' met 'Kroef' dus er lijkt mij geen twijfel mogelijk.Image removed.

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

Dit is geen origineel Delfts aardewerk. Het merk lijkt een verwijzing naar een authentiek Delfts merk, maar welke precies, is mij niet bekend.

Verdict:

  • Indeterminable

Analysis:

  • 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.

De twee landschapstegels dateren uit de 18e eeuw. De tegel met kinderspel en ossenkopjes in de hoeken is de oudste van het stel en stamt uit de tweede helft van de 17e eeuw. De tegel met de bloempot is laat 19e- of vroeg 20e-eeuws. Dergelijke tegels werden in veel verschillende tegelbakkerijen geproduceerd. Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Harlingen, Makkum en Delft zijn belangrijke tegelcentra, maar ondanks de naam 'Delftse tegels', werden er vooral buiten Delft veel tegels geproduceerd.

I agree with Franky that this is a fake mark. The shape of the plate and its color are not characteristic of Delftware. However, I do believe it is hand-painted, but the images aren't sharp enough.
