Alida's decoration is painted entirely by hand, and it changes character as it descends. Near the neck, sprays of cobalt flowers climb a cream ground with space around them. Lower down the painting closes in: green panels outlined in cobalt hold white flowers, white palmettes fan out between them, and orange fills the gaps until almost no ground shows.
Around the flare, scrolling blue foliage edged with a row of white dots runs above an orange band and fine blue lines at the foot. The whole sits under a matte glaze. The palmettes and the dotted border belong to the Art Deco side of the Gouda repertoire, while the flower sprays still carry something of the Dutch Art Nouveau that came before.
About Gouda Pottery
Gouda made clay tobacco pipes and everyday earthenware for centuries before Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland opened in 1898 and brought art pottery to the town. Its early high-gloss Art Nouveau wares gave way from about 1910 to matte-glazed polychrome decoration, and other Gouda firms, among them Zenith, Ivora and Regina, took up the style. It became so closely tied to the town that collectors call it Gouda whichever factory made the piece.
