    I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of Delft markings and my head is spinning!
    Any ideas on translating the back please?
    The mark to the left of ‘hand painted’?
    The artists name and the numbers on the left?
    I’ve got a Delft contact from previous research of a brooch if we draw a blank but i’d be grateful for any help.
    Thankyou :)

    The crown mark is for 'de Kroon'.
    100%. As in 100% hand painted, not 99%.;)
    T. v.d. Laay? In Dutch v.d. is short for 'van de' or 'van der'. So the surname would be either van de Laay or van der Laay.

    Update.
    Leo is a total star for such a detailed response. This is the second time he has helped with identifying something. Start at the bottom of the page!.

    Hello,
    You’re most welcome. After further research I’m now convinced that Anton van der Laan left the Regina factory before 1979 - probably after some labour dispute - and started his own one-man company. I found no further details but at that time the Gouda pottery industry had many one-man potteries struggling to survive. It may not have lasted very long. The current verdict is that your hand painted plate has been made by Anton van der Laan, Gouda, Netherlands, in the 1970s.
    Kind regards, Leo

    Hello K,
    Thank you for this intriguing request. My first impression is that your plate was made by the Regina pottery, of Gouda, Netherlands. Only the name of the factory, Regina, is missing. As you can see in our Gouda Pottery List http://verwoerdceramics.com/gouda_potteries the name Regina was used from 1911-1979. The painters at Regina got permission to use their full names only from 1970 onwards. The painter who signed this biblical wall plate is T. (Toon, Anton) van der Laan. So were does that leave us?
    My best guess is that this plate is made by T. van der Laan in a free lance capacity after the closure of Regina in 1979. Another possibility that this has been a Regina trial plate made after 1970, although in that case I would still expect use of the Regina factory Mark.
    So, I think we should settle with "Delft biblical plate made in Gouda, in any case after 1970, and probably c.1979, by the Regina Pottery, or one of the Regina decorators shortly after the closure of the factory".
    I hope this helps.
    Kind regards, Leo
