<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 1476688, member: 50&quot;]Hi and welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct in the factory that made your piece as being De Porceleyne Fles. Most of their pieces are date marked with a letter code though it isn&#039;t always in the same position on the mark. The &quot;E&quot; on the top right of yours I suspect is the date code for 1883.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the book &quot;Discovering Dutch Delftware&quot; the painter would appear to be Leon Senf who worked at the factory from about 1878-1930.&nbsp; The asterisk next to his name means he was a master designer who trained for 13 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Often these paintings are copied from famous painting and are indicated by &quot;naar&quot; followed by the name of the original painter. I also suspect the small letter that could be &quot;n&quot; followed by S V Ruysdael means <i>after</i> a painting by Van Ruysdael.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]225570[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
