De Hollandse Daalder / De Hollantse daalder

14. De Hollantse Daalder - Netherlandish Thaler coin called "Daalder" / Monnaie 'Thaler' (workshop active from 1695 - 1721), De Ham, east side [or was it at Kerkstraat / kerklaan north side?]. 'Names of houses' file mentions a house of this name in Kerkstraat in 1596 as "Bezijden de NK" (besides the New Church).

No image of a mark of this workshop is available to this author at the moment.

Collecting Delftware

A serious collector of Delftware will attempt to identify and date the object. On Delft blue plates and other Delftware objects such as jugs, a potters mark may give a first indication. One should always treat potters marks with caution. Marks must be considered as just one indication.

Masters & apprentices

All masters and apprentices working at this workshop had to be inscribed in the Delft St Luke Guild Book. In 1877 this book was published in a 120 page text by Obreen. In 2002 this text has been scanned and is now available and fully searcheable on this internet site. See the yellow field on top; first click the heading Delft Artists & Patrons and then click Obreen. The full text is in Dutch. Spelling varies; in order to find masters or apprentices of a faience workshop (plattielbackers, plateelbacker, platielbacker) search for the letters "plat".
