The Flora 'Rumba' pattern is very hard to find here in the US so I'm very happy to have had a second opportunity to acquire it. I love the Mid-Century Modern look of the decor. I guess I will have to search for more now!"

Picture 150 - Thomas from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, sends us this beautiful example of a 'Decor Breetvelt' vase. Thomas tell us - "This is my very first Gouda piece. I normally collect West German and Swedish pottery but when I saw this I just had to have it! The vase is in mint condition. I've found your website very informative and without it I'd have very little information on my vase."
Following the death of artist and designer Henri Breetvelt in 1923, his designs for PZH continued to be painted. They were often modified so they could be painted quickly and in quantity. All had the 'Decor Breetvelt' designation, often just 'Dec. Breetvelt', on the backstamp. Some had the letter 'B' and a number. This vase is 'Decor B5' where the 'B' is for Breetvelt.
Made in Gouda by Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland and painted by Johan van Kersbergen. Date is 1925 and the model number is 2111.
Dimensions are approx. 23.5 cm tall by 15.0 cm at its widest.
