My first foray into Dutch Art Nouveau pottery, this Rozenburg handled vase has an ahead of its time psychedelic appearance with recurring motifs of butterflies and dandelions. Signed underneath with Rozenburg/ Haag and date marks denoting its creation in 1896, the piece appears to also have an early artist mark for Johannes van der Vet (1879-1954). Dimensions: 11" (height) x 8"(width).
-------------------
In 1883, Wilhelm Wolff founded the Haagsche Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg aiming to produce traditional Delftware, but in 1884 when the pottery hired Th.AC Colenbrander as artistic director the firm was off in a completely new direction. The designs Colenbrander produced were revolutionary and it set the design tone for the firm for years to come. In 1895 J. Jurriaan Cook was appointed as artistic director, and the firm started to expand beyond Colenbrander's abstract designs. The firm produced earthenware pottery exclusively up to 1899, after which it initiated production of their famed "eggshell" porcelain, which was first exhibited at the Paris 1900 Exposition. In 1913, Jurriaan Cook left the company, and the firm shuttered its doors finally in 1916.

SEASON's GREETINGS to YOU & YOURS COGITO !!! ! !!!
psychedelic!
insert strange
insert kennemer oudheidkamer
the dating must be easy because we are commited by style , this probably aint late secession period Rozenburg IMO
and we are also committed by mark something like 1896, the stange thing
and then we are in trouble , and i can,t nail it , i ran a lot of painters , the point is , your thesis is Johannes van der Vet (1879-1954, which implies, , he would be 17 yours old then
when s 41 = 841 we are in an high Auftragsnummer and the stork is out and we are missing the letter , so we are committed one way or the other
nice vase well done
