About this piece
This colourful vase comes from the Ed. Antheunis factory in Gouda. The factory was active between 1910 and 1933.
The decoration is called "Viool", Dutch for pansy. A bold orange and yellow flower with pink accents sits among sweeping green and turquoise leaves. The ground is a glossy dark glaze.
The body is rounded and the neck short and flared. That gives the floral design plenty of room. Yellow dots run across the green shoulder.
Underneath it is marked "142 / E.A. / Gouda / Viool / V."
Condition
- Fine crazing in the glaze, clearly visible on the brown area of the decoration
- Glaze flaking and rough edges on the foot ring underneath.
- Small specks and tiny glaze losses on the dark glaze, mainly towards the foot
