GOUDA-DESIGN

Gouda copies, look-alikes, home painters, fakes or "made to deceive" - Part 12.

The first three shown were seen on Marktplaats.nl during May 2010.

First three - our old friends again with their distinctive style of fake marks. The style of the 'G', the way the 'little house' is drawn. If you look back on previous Gouda Copies pages you will see many examples.

The two handled vase with a terrible decoration of a sunflower!

This is almost certainly an original Japanese or Czechoslovakian Gouda style vase which has been 'doctored'. Look at Japanese and Czechoslovakian Gouda copies on this page and you will see many similarities. A totally wrong mark for Roelof Sterken. If you have the Nederlandse Keramiek book by Wil Spijker then see page 433 for another fake Sterken mark. Also see our Gouda Copies 4. It is very crude this mark and really should not deceive anyone! Seen on Marktplaats.nl in June 2010. See another similar on Gouda Copies 17.

 

 


 

Once more - our old friend again with the distinctive style of fake mark. The style of the 'G', the 'little house' style. If you look back on previous Gouda Copies pages you will see many examples. For sale on eBay in July/August 2010.

 

 


The infamous eBay seller 'R.......' strikes again with this fake Rozenburg tile tableau. Terrible painting - one of the worst we have seen. Sorry but whoever has bought it - you have been done!

 

 

 
 


Yet again! The distinctive style of fake mark - the 'G' - the 'little house' style, the terrible painting, etc. If you look back on many previous Gouda Copies pages you will see examples. For sale on Marktplaats.nl in October 2010.
