Royal Goedewaagen factory.

Pictures from the factory in Nieuw Buinen.

 

These pictures were taken while the factory was closed for the annual summer holiday. We are extremely grateful to Royal Goedewaagen and in particular to our friend Friggo Visser (curator of the Goedewaagen Ceramics Museum since 1989) for opening up the factory especially for us and our friends Joop & Ria Nobel. You can visit the Royal Goedewaagen website here.
