Tile

This is partly made by De Pyramide Gouda. This potterie was active from 1946-
1994. 

Over the years, the factory had different owners, as well as different names, namely;
1946 "A.W.J. Jongeneel"
1951 Art Studio Jongeneel
1952 Pottery Jongeneel.
When Jongeneel died in 1964, the factory was continued by WR Krebaum in 1965 and in 
1983 by his son B Krebaum.
The tiles were not all made in the factory itself, but as in your case in Belgium by the Helman family. After the first firing, these tiles were brought to the Netherlands where they were painted/glued before firing for the second time.

On the first stamp you will see the lot number and at the bottom FH = Family Helman. on the second stamp is an H with made in Belgium. This brand was used in the years 1980 - 1994. Helman was known for fantastic tiling that served for numerous advertising purposes, decorations of opera, theatre, etc.
