GOUDA, HOLLAND, PZH "ROSENBURG" 1909 POT

When W.A. Hoyng became General Manager of the PZH factory in 1907 this had quite an impact on the development of new glazes and production techniques. Also the arrival of W.P. Hartgring from the Rozenburg factory and his direct input led to the New Porcelain line. Not only the Rhodian technique was developped but also the the Rozenburg-style thin line shading disappeared and was replaced by totally filled-in fields. Daniel Harkink finished this line with the development of a matte glazing and his Matte Vogel (MV) and Matte Bloemen (MB) designs. This pot exactly is a product of that turn-of-production period. The applied soft pastel tints on the white baking clay and the simplified but very stylish and elegant ART NOUVEAU pattern gives this item the special aura that is so significant for the years 1908-1910.

This is a wonderful very early floral matte piece of Schoonhoven pottery, model #110. The Schoonhoven model numbers begin with #101, around 1920. So this piece is probably 1920-21.
