A vase from the north of Holland. It dates from 1929-1932. It was painted by JG van Vliet on a design by Elke Snel. At the time these vases were very avant-garde and are part of the De Stijl movement in the Netherlands. The influence of Mondriaan can be seen in those blocked shapes of colour that the Dutch call "blokjes". It is small only 7cm tall. But it is one of my favorites!
This factory later produced the vase by Gellings that I have on Show & Tell as well.

Many thanks artislove!
several times i almost bought one but nowadays you rarely see them and are pretty expensive nice texture of glaze!
Many thanks again. This is the only one I have seen here. I've had it more than twenty years. I only knew about it when I went to the Netherlands for the first time in the early nineties. Until then I only knew it was Dutch and not the regular Gouda we see here.
