How can you tell real Delft pottery?
1 Answer
Delftware often has a maker's mark on the base or back of the item consisting of letters or figurative symbols to show where the item was manufactured. Today markings will say hand-painted in Holland as well as the phrase Delft blue in Dutch or English.
