Plateel vase with lid South Holland Gouda - Art Deco - Type 'Troy' - Earthenware - Netherlands - 1930-1939

Antique, floral Art Deco pottery lidded vase designed by the N.V. Koninklijke Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, popularly known as Plazuid, 1 of the most famous Gouda pottery factories.

In 1898, the Gouda potter Adrianus Jonker founded the 'Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, E. Estié & Co' together with Egbert Estié from Purmerend. During the 1915 world fair in San Francisco - the Panama-Pacific International Exposition - Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland exhibited in the 'Palace of Varied Industries'. Under the name 'Goudaware' - as a counterpart to the well-known seventeenth-century Delftware - he successfully advertised and sold the matted pottery of Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland in the United States. The products of 'Plazuid' are leading in the years after 1935. Even after the Second World War, the company flourished for some time, but the competition from the other pottery companies in Gouda (especially from Zenith and Goedewaagen) was fierce. It turns out to be too big and the company closes in 1965.
