Help figuring out delft pottery

Hello fellow antiquers,

This is my first post on here. I just inherited a piece of Delft pottery from my grandparents estate and I’m trying to figure out the age and maker etc. I scoured the web and couldn’t find a match to the markings on the bottom. Was curious if anyone could help me out?

Thanks!

 

I'm not sure this is the maker but Flora is the closest mark in Van Hook's book Discovering Dutch Delftware. Maybe a direction to look.

 

Thank you, that definitely looks like the crown mark! Really appreciate the help!

 

If you need any more information have a look at this thread.

Thank you for the help, I emailed Leo yesterday, and this was his response that others might find useful in the future as well!

"Thank you for an interesting inquiry. Dutch Blue Delft has been made in the city of Delft – hence its name – but also in other Dutch cities like Amsterdam, Arnhem, Gouda, Schoonhoven, and others. Gouda had a tradition of clay pipe making for many centuries but it took until 1935 for its potteries to produce Delftware. All blue Delft made in the Netherlands is genuine Delft, but we can distinguish between hand painted and printed, and of course between good and poor painting.

In spite of its late start Gouda's Delft industry did very well. After WW2 Gouda had over a 100 potteries large and small. Your nice vase is from Gouda and from that period, c. 1950-1960s. It is hand painted and quite decent as well. The maker is Plateelbakkerij Flora or Flora pottery, one of the medium sized potteries of Gouda. The painter’s initials have yet to be identified. The royal.delft and crown mark have little significance. Royal, i.e chartered by the sovereign, is only restricted by Dutch law when you want to use the Dutch term Koninklijk.The Royal equivalent borrowed from the English language has been used by many potteries to impress buyers. The same is true for the crown mark. Flora existed until 1993 when it was acquired by the Goedewaagen pottery of Nieuw Buinen, Netherlands.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards, Leo"
