Nowadays a lot of Delftware is still produced and sold.
However many items are not entirely handpainted but massproduced or have been decorated by the decal method.
The word handpainted quite often means that the main part of the design is on a decal and part has been handpainted.
The name Delft on a piece of pottery does not mean that it is actually genuine Delftware.
Delft is a cityname and therefore not protected, so this name may be used all over the world.
