Zenith Pottery Gouda Pierced Roza Design Lamp Base c1949-84 Made in Holland

Description: This is a pottery lamp base made by the Zenith Pottery, Gouda, The Netherlands. It measures 13cm tall and 13cm wide. Because of the pierced design it could be used with a candle or tea light for decoration. The factory was founded in the second half of the 18th century and initially focused on the production of pipes. When this did not yield much any more in the early 20th century, the great-grandchildren of the original entrepreneurs chose to concentrate on making decorative pottery. The factory closed its doors in 1984. Gouda is a generic term describing pottery produced in the city of Gouda, The Netherlands. Earthenware pottery started being produced in Gouda in the 17th century because of nearby clay deposits. Clay also was imported from England. Initially, the potters manufactured Delft-type tin-glazed wares and clay pipes. When the market for pipes declined with the introduction of cigarettes, the potters began producing art pottery. The Zenith works operated from 1749 through to 1984.I am very happy to combine postage for multiple purchases - please contact me before paying for multiple items so that I can provide a revised invoice.
