AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This tin-glazed earthenware bonbonnière (candy box) is executed in traditional Delft blue and decorated with graceful floral motifs. The box and lid are en suite painted, creating a balanced and elegant whole.

Marked on the underside in blue underglaze with DE PORCELEYNE FLES – ROYAL DELFT and bearing the model number, which I read as: MA 830 BL.
According to the dating standard of De Porceleyne Fles, the suffix BL indicates the year 1942, meaning this object was produced during World War II (see photo of the mark).

An authentic and historic Delftware object made during the war, interesting for both collectors and enthusiasts of Royal Delft.

Condition: the lid has a chip on the edge, and the small plate shows edge damage in several places. See photos for a clear impression.

The meal:

9 cm high
15 diameter
10 cm diameter opening

Word carefully packed and shipped.
