The difference between pieces from Makkum and Harlingers is clear and this one is Makkum
Formerly, all dishes with inscriptions have been attributed to Jacobus ten Zweege, but now the picture is more refined.
P.J. Tichelaar attributes this piece to Hendrik Bastiaans de Haan 1799-1848. Some of his works are illustrated in Tichelaar's book, pp 182-83
