This refined commemorative plate was manufactured by the renowned N.V. Koninklijke Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland in Gouda. The piece, dated January 7, 1937, represents a tangible piece of Dutch ceramic history and stands out for its charming, hand-painted decoration.
The plate is made of high-quality ceramic and displays a vibrant, multicolored palette of yellow, blue, green, and orange on a light background. At the center is an elegant, calligraphed letter 'B', flanked by detailed floral motifs and two stylized birds. The reverse features the authentic factory stamp of the Gouda pottery, as well as the painter's signature and an integrated metal wire hanging system.
The object is in excellent condition befitting its age, with the glaze having fully retained its original luster and color intensity. The authentic character and artisanal finish attest to the high quality standards of the manufacturer in the 1930s.
This historic wall plate makes a valuable addition for collectors of Gouda pottery or enthusiasts of pre-war Dutch design. The object comes into its own beautifully as a decorative accent in a classic interior or as part of an eclectic gallery wall.
