<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1359783, member: 2844&quot;]Wow, journey, wow. Yes they are Delfts Blue. Meaning real blue and white Dutch &#039;delftware&#039; from the town of Delft.</p><p>I love the vases, another wow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jan Theunis Dextra owned &#039;De Grieksche A&#039; factory in Delft between 1758-1764, but continued working there after he sold it. The date on the tag of your plate looks like 1761 to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dextra did mark with a D as well as Dextra or Dex, but his D would be together with a number, as far as I know. Your Dextra D mark looks like D/t. I could be wrong.</p><p>Here are some examples of his marks, at the bottom of the page:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://kalden.home.xs4all.nl/dblue/images/griekseA-3.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://kalden.home.xs4all.nl/dblue/delftblue-111-grieka.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://kalden.home.xs4all.nl/dblue/delftblue-111-grieka.htm" rel="nofollow">https://kalden.home.xs4all.nl/dblue/delftblue-111-grieka.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So I don&#039;t know if the Dextra maker&#039;s mark is actually by him.</p><p>The 19th century was notorious for repros and fakes of Dutch antiques. Those repros and fakes are collectible too, but they are not as valuable as the real deal.</p><p>Just to be sure, you could ask the Aronson family about your wonderful find, they have been specialists in Delfts and delftware since the late 1800s and know their stuff. They also have this virtual museum:</p><p><a href="https://www.aronson.com/delftmuseum-com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.aronson.com/delftmuseum-com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.aronson.com/delftmuseum-com/</a></p><p>Mail:</p><p><a href="mailto:MAIL@ARONSON.COM">MAIL@ARONSON.COM</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
