Delft

[patgt77]

Does anyone here know much about Delft or point me in the right direction?  I have a miniature vase that says "Hand Painted Delfts Blue" on the bottom but there was a sticker (that I stupidly took off) on the bottom that said "Made in Korea".  It doesn't have the typical Holland scene painted on it.  Just curious if it is a copycat or what.

Yes.

"Real" Delft comes from the town of Delft in the Netherlands.  And as it was originally an imitation of Chinese porcelain, it won't necessarily be decorated with a "typical Holland scene."  The factory mark you want to look for is this one:

My thoughts are that it is made for the tourist trade by a company in Korea. It is a Delft Blue design but probably not a true Delft from Holland.  Just a good guess from my years of experience .

Agree.
