This vase was painted by two painters in 1934 (BD). Theo van Lingen (1893-1945) probably painted the landscape and G. van  Heijenoort (1891-1940) the border decoration. It is an "A" design that at the time was sold slightly cheaper due to, for example, a flaw in the glaze, the painting, or other matters.

An 'A' or 'B' above a model or article number? Then it concerns a quality/price classification, especially from the crisis years. Usually stamped and also painted.

kind regards Franky

Thank you so much for you’re help Franky! I’m happy to know more about this beautiful vase. In your opinion, was this type of vase a common product for Royal Delft at this period? 

Kind regards Joakim

The shape of the vase was certainly characteristic of the period. However, the landscape with the windmill can still be seen today in their production on vases, plates, cups, etc. The windmill is very typical of the Netherlands, hence.

Below are a few examples of contemporary hand-painted pottery.
