Delft "trinket box" with Fish Mark

Delft "trinket box" with Fish Mark:- I really know nothing about pottery marks, and have tried researching this at the library and on the internet without success.

I guess you would call this a "trinket box" ??
The mark looks like a fish with the letter "H" inside it.

Would anyone know the approximate age of this piece ? and/or value ??

Thanks,

Dave.

Delft Trinket Box
by: Blake

Dear David, I had hoped to give you a more complete answer than this; I had a page showing Delft marks by company bookmarked but the page is no longer in operation.
What you have is a genuine Delft piece, a trinket box, made in Holland in the 20th century. Current & reproduction Delft is usually marked "Delfts". A piece marked "Delfts" means it was made in the last 30 to 40 years and not always are they made in Holland.
The best advice I can give you for gaining insight into the age and value of your box is to go to eBay and eBay.UK and run searches for Delft Trinket Box auctions. Hopefully you will find an exact match for your box with the maker's name in the title or description. At the least you will find boxes similar to yours and should get a good idea of their collectibility and value from the auction results.

I wish I could have been of more help.

Yours, Blake
