Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • Forged mark In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing forged Delft factory marks. Read more

Merk:

  • APK False

Inderdaad vermoedelijk een vervalsing van een type bord dat wel in Delft gemaakt is. 

@Jeroen Hartgens, dank voor de prachtige foto van de vijver en de extra uitleg

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
  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. 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
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more

De beste manier om te zien dat het hier gaat om een voorwerp dat ouder is dan Delfts aardewerk, zijn de drie kleine beschadigingen aan de voorkant van het bord. Die zijn veroorzaakt door proenen, driehoekige aardewerken steunen die gebruikt werden om stapels borden in de oven uit elkaar te houden. Het nadeel van deze techniek was dat de proenen aan het glazuur vast brandden en daarmee een gaatje of litteken aan de voorkant van het bord achterlieten. 

Eén van de technische vernieuwingen bij het maken van Delfts aardewerk was het bakken in cassetten waarin objecten met pennen werden vastgezet, die veel minder schade aan het object gaven.

Dear Yupiter, 

your assesment is right, the style refers to Delftware, but it was made in Makkum and later.

Het merk laat zien dat de vaas inderdaad begin 20ste eeuw gemaakt is. Daarmee valt hij buiten de scope van deze website die zich richt op historische Delfts aardewerk tot 1850, maar dat maakt hem natuurlijk niet minder interessant!
