GOUDA-DESIGN

Museum de Moriaan in Gouda.

Sadly this famous museum will no longer be the main museum of Gouda pottery.

The Gouda pottery and other items are being catalogued and photographed ready for removal to MuseumgoudA / Het Catharina Gasthuis en De Moriaan. We understand room will be found to display them.

As far as we are aware - April 2007 - the museum will become a museum of National Pharmaceutical and Apothecary under the direction of MuseumgoudA.

 

A magnificent and very large vase made specifically for display to show the quality of Zuid-Holland wares.

The decor is "Orchidée".

Painted by W.P. Hartgring, whose actual signature is on the body of the vase.

A huge 105cm tall.

 

 

Below - a tantalising glimpse of some hidden Gouda. There are hundreds of items. An honour to be allowed to see the archives.

Our thanks to Hans Vogels & Dick Bode.
