Maker and Origin:
Chemkefa was a well-known Dutch ceramic producer that created high-quality hand-painted Delft Blue pieces during the 20th century. The plate is marked with the original Chemkefa stamp on the back, confirming its authenticity.

Chemkefa, which stands for "Chemische Keramiek Fabriek," was founded in 1969 in Maastricht by Leendert Zwikker, who previously worked at the renowned Sfinx pottery. Chemkefa specialized in producing ceramic items resembling Delftware, particularly decorative objects such as wall plates. These items often featured blue and white designs similar to the traditional "Delft Blue," a beloved style in the Netherlands. Chemkefa's work, while not officially classified as Delftware, was highly valued for its craftsmanship and remains popular among collectors today.
