Antique Gouda N.P. Cachepot by Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, 1922

Product Description
£90.00
Maximum quantity available reached.

This Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland Gouda cachepot, dated 1922, is a particularly attractive example of the factory’s N.P. “New Porcelain” decoration. Hand-painted on a pale ground with stylised chrysanthemums, purple starburst flowers, long green stems and filled foliage, it has the lighter and more refined character that makes this part of Gouda production so appealing.

Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland introduced the N.P. range in 1908, and it represents quite a different side of Gouda pottery from the darker, denser wares people often associate with the name. The pale ground gave the decorators room to work more delicately, and here the fine outlines, dotted detail and carefully filled leaves give the surface a real sense of movement without making it feel crowded.

The form itself is low and broad, approximately 15 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, and that shape suits the decoration particularly well. The chrysanthemums and smaller purple flowers travel naturally around the body, with the long green stems helping to tie the composition together.

The base is especially satisfying because it tells us so much. The Lazarus Gate identifies Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, N.P. marks t

he decorative range, 1856 is the shape number, and the small diamond-shaped mark dates the piece to 1922. There is also a small painter’s monogram, but I would leave the decorator unidentified unless it can be matched securely to a factory list.

Collector’s note: This is the sort of Gouda piece I find particularly rewarding because the history is all there in the marks. We are not simply saying “early twentieth century” or “in the style of.” We can place it firmly at Zuid-Holland, within the N.P. range, and to the year 1922. The painting is restrained but very confident, and the floral decoration still carries something of the Art Nouveau taste from which the range developed.
