Dial mark: Small crown-and-jug logo reading "Delfts" on clock face (generic Delft-style trade mark, not Royal Delft/Porceleyne Fles)
Movement: Quartz movement, marked "GERMANY" and "QUARTZ" on brass backplate; dial also marked "MADE IN GERMANY"

Base/reverse markings: Hand-inscribed in blue: pattern/shape number "1728," "Delft Blauw Handpainted Holland," and painter's initials "KR"
Estimated era: Circa 1970s–1990s (quartz movement confirms not antique; AVA seal consistent with mid/late 20th-century production)
