GOUDA POTTERY 18cm EWER.
(Gouda Pottery is not actually made in the city of Gouda, Netherlands. While it is named after the city, the pottery is made primarily in the nearby town of Schoonhoven.
The distinctive blue and white designs often associated with Gouda Pottery actually originated in Delft, another Dutch city famous for its ceramics. These designs were later adopted by Gouda Pottery producers due to their popularity.
Gouda Pottery has been produced since the late 19th century and reached its peak of popularity in the early 20th century. However, production largely ceased during World War II due to material shortages.
Every Gouda Pottery piece is hand-crafted, making each item unique and one-of-a-kind.
Gouda Pottery was initially influenced by Japanese ceramics, particularly Satsuma pottery, which fascinated Dutch artists and collectors during the late 19th century. This influence can still be seen in some Gouda Pottery designs, especially those featuring intricate patterns and motifs.)
