[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3781711, member: 2844"]Welcome Chad. I have found some info on the giftshop in Sittard. It was founded in 2013 and only lasted for a few years. The reason for this could be that the gifts she sold were of the 'Olde Worlde' souvenir type, and Sittard doesn't get many tourists. She never sold antiques, only gifts/souvenirs. There is now a men's wear shop at the address. Sittard is a nice provincial town in Limburg, in the southeastern panhandle of the Netherlands, close to the border with Germany. It is not in Holland, which is in the west of the Netherlands.;) The recent date of the start of the shop also tells us something about the date of your charger. It looks like a very recent piece, manufactured in the Netherlands, but probably not in Delft. The spelling of Delfts is significant. They spell it Delft's, whereas the word 'Delfts' is without the apostrophe. This is a way to say it is in the style of Delfts, but it isn't made in Delft. I have seen a crown mark on Delft style pieces from Gouda. [ATTACH=full]315903[/ATTACH] The text below Holland is: Rembrandt as an officer 1635, Hand made, and the initials of the painter, HvR. The v stands for van, a part of many Dutch names. The painting is also known as 'Portrait of a Man with a Plumed Beret'.
