<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9557016, member: 2844&quot;]Welcome from the sunny south of the Netherlands, Natalia.</p><p>You have a cute tea strainer set there, but nowadays it isn&#039;t considered safe to use for tea.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a reproduction, but as Bakers pointed out, it is not by the most famous Delfts maker, &quot;de Porceleyne Fles&quot;, either.</p><p>Since the early 20th century de Porceleyne Fles is also known as Royal Delfts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Delfts is a Dutch combination of a specific style and a ceramic technique.</p><p>There used to be countless Delfts makers, although not all of them in Delft. Traditionally only makers in Delft marked their ware &quot;Delfts&quot;, others marked it &quot;Delft&quot;, without the &#039;s&#039;. Over time that rule was ignored by some makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are still a few makers left, and again, not all of them in Delft. Most of them mark their ceramics &quot;Delfts Holland&quot;, plus their own mark.</p><p>Because it is only marked &quot;Delfts Holland&quot; it is difficult to say who made yours, but it would have been one of the minor makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is 1930s-40s.</p><p>Tagging [USER=50]@say_it_slowly[/USER] .<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
