About this piece
This bowl comes from the early period of the Gouda factory, around 1900 to 1905. The design is typical art nouveau, painted on brown earthenware.
Purple irises with red centres curl around the body, with green stems and loose, swirling lines in green and cream. A band of angular and curling ornament runs around the rim. The glaze is glossy and finely crackled.
The base is marked "made in zuid holland" with the Gouda Lazarus Gate. A number 52 is incised beside the marks.
The bowl is broken neatly into two pieces. At some point someone drilled a hole in the bottom.
Condition
- Broken neatly into two pieces; the break runs across the base and through the rim
- A hole was drilled in the bottom in the past
- A pale filler or plug is visible in the drilled hole
- Fine crackle throughout the glaze
- Small glaze losses on the underside, around the blue painted motifs
