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

  • 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.

Deze tegelplaat dateert op basis van deze foto’s vermoedelijk uit de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw. In het Tegelmuseum in Otterlo bevindt zich een vergelijkbare tegelplaat met dezelfde ‘Delft’-aanduiding op de voorzijde, hoewel met een andere voorstelling en van een andere hand (inv. nr 03153). Die plaat wordt toegeschreven aan Plateelbakkerij Delft (P.B.D.) in Amsterdam/Hilversum. De schilderstijl van uw exemplaar doet mij echter ook denken aan het werk van Westraven uit Utrecht. Misschien kan een andere gebruiker meer informatie verwschaffen.

Het is inderdaad geen origineel product van plateelbakkerij de Klaauw, maar een 20ste eeuwse kopie. Waar de kan precies is gemaakt, is mij niet bekend, maar Noord Frankrijk zou zeker kunnen.
