This double Gouda Holland PZH inkstand with hand painted porcelain inserts has all the appropriate marks for PZH with year of manufacture (1928), design/mold name, and the artist’s initials. The cobalt blue and gold colorings are vivid and typical of the matte finish of the period.
PZH stands for “Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland”, which translates to Zuid-Holland Pottery Factory. In 1898, PZH began producing art pieces featuring Art Nouveau designs. Around 1910, PZH developed a new matte glazed process known as the Rhodian process.
