Delft Potters Mark of Jan Van Der Hoeve 1649

Delft Potters Marks C. J. Messchert 1951

Claes Messchert and Abraham van Noorden (1651) Founders of The Peacock pottery, but we cannot distinguish their work from that of successors at this factory, for the various combinations of its mark PAAUW give no clue to the maker.

Quiring Aldersz Kleynoven (1655) A stranger associated with some of the best masters ; but although he registered his mark, forming a monogram of his three initials, nothing is known of his work.

Delft Potters Mark P. Van Frytom 1658

Frederick van Frytom (1658) His work stands out from any other worker at Delft in that he did not copy the Oriental or take his ideas from the designs of other arts. His work is pure landscape painting, enlivened with figures, such as the large plaque at the Netherlands Museum at the Hague, signed with his name in full in the corner. He also painted plates of the most charming description with figures, such as the one at the British Museum.

Delft Potters Mark J. Wemmers Hoppestein 1661

Jacob Wemmers Hoppestein (1661) At the sign of The Old Moor’s Head. He seems to have carried out at this factory the excellent work begun by his predecessor Abraham de Kooge, and the produce of this factory had a high reputation. It consisted generally of blue decorative centers representing episodes from Roman history, surrounded by coloured borders. Examples of this kind may be seen at South Kensington and at the British Museum. His monogram consisted of an I through a W, or the two letters placed together.

Delft Potters Mark J. J. Kulick 1662

Jan Jansz Kulick (1662) A stranger. Having worked under Aelbrecht de Keizer, he produced, like his master, fine specimens in imitation of Chinese and Japanese ware in blue, red, and gold. M. Havard gives his monogram, but states that he has never come across it on a piece of pottery.
