GOUDA-DESIGN
Gouda copies, look-alikes,
fakes or "made to deceive" - Part 6.
First up on this new page
is yet another one from Marktplaats. A PZH fake thistle flower
'P-decor' from our well known painter seen on many previous items.
Look at the previous Gouda Copies pages and see the writing styles.
The mould (model) number 121 is incorrect - see picture below.
The 'kantjes' (see below for kantjes decor) cross hatching is
very coarse for the genuine P-style decors and wrong colour of
the markings. With many thanks to Friggo Visser and Dennis van
den Hoek.

Below is the correct
model 121 which is a cachepot not a vase. Shown are examples
of what we mean by 'kantjes' decors. The decors consist of many
'lines' or 'hatchings' or 'edgings'. One of them is on model
121. |
Friggo Visser tells us
- "For 17 years I have seen this faked Distel vase 'doing
the rounds'! It is a copy of the 'Carduus' technique designed
by Jan Eisenloeffel. Eisenloeffel produced the genuine designs
during 1915 to 1917 when he worked for De Distel." They
keep trying these guys. Seen on Markplaats again.

Here is fake of a supposed
early De Porceleyne Fles tile or tile plaque. Faking what was
known as the 'Jacoba' form introduced by PF in around 1897. This
form used only Dutch clays and nearly all were designed by Adolf
Le Comte. De Porceleyne Fles painters were (and remain so) highly
skilled and would never have produced such a childish and very
crude work! The Jacoba plaques all had turned up edges and were
not flat. As Friggo Visser says - "Serious advice for collectors
- ask one the Fles experts before buying!" See pictures
below of genuine ones. Information courtesy of and thanks to
Rick Erickson - 'A Guide to De Porceleyne Fles'.
