<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9773928, member: 2844&quot;]Cinoiserie, it clearly says &quot;Antique&quot;, which means they only deal with antique Delfts, not all Delfts. And ca 1850 as an end date makes perfect sense because that is when mass production set in. And as I said before:</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison: If I were to start, say, an independent antique jewellery forum, I would also put a date restriction on it. An item would have to be antique, so pre-1924. </p><p>But my restriction to antique jewellery doesn&#039;t mean that jewellery ceased to be made after 1924. A simple matter of logic imo.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe only the potteries from Delft? That is what I would do if I had such a group.</p><p>Although I have a soft spot for Makkums (Tichelaar), so I might try to smuggle them in.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Makkum is a town in Friesland.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, as far as I know, their use of the term Delftware does not correspond with the international understanding of the term. That is probably because it is a Dutch group, and we understand Delft and Delfts differently from non-Dutch.</p><p>So AFAIK, the general international consensus is:</p><p>&#039;Delfts&#039; is faience from Delft, often but not always blue on white.</p><p>&#039;Delft&#039; is similar ware to &#039;Delfts&#039;, but it wasn&#039;t made in Delft.</p><p>Delftware is blue on white faience but it may not be similar in design or decoration, and it can be made anywhere.</p><p>So delftware is a very broad term, whereas the &#039;Delfts aardewerk&#039; group seeks to narrow it down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
