GOUDA-DESIGN

Michael's Gouda Collection - Part 2

Michael continues with his pictures and descriptions.

 

Although this is an advertising piece for a tobacco company instead of strictly being only a decorative item, it is highly unusual in that it depicts a stout merchant in 17th century clothing standing on a black and white tile pattern floor and surrounded by a swirling abstract pattern. I think the design quality is very good and can see why the tobacco vender used Ivora to create this humidor. I don't have much Ivora but really like the blue and yellow in this piece. 18.5cm H Decorator unknown

 

Four ewers - PZH - 23.0cm H

As you can see - all mould number 592/3

The four ewers were purchased separately but look great together since they share the same shape. I think the ewers are elegant and the shapes take the patterns very well. These four pieces epitomize what I like about Gouda because of the strong integrity of the designs and color choices.

"Damascus III" - 1915/1918 Decorator unknown

 

"Corona" June 1920 Decorated by Dirk van der Starre

 

"Jack" 1927 Decorator unknown

 

"Kabani" 1929 Probably decorated by Karel van de Heuvel

 

 

 

Here with big brother is a really cute smaller ewer in "Kabani". Same date of 1929 and same decorator, Karel van de Heuvel. Note the mould number is 592/1. The "1" denoting the same shape as big brother but smaller mould size.

Small Kabani is 16.5cm high.

 

 

 

A big thank you to Michael for showing us some high quality pictures from his collection.
