A plate with "D.A.S.H Cup 1963. Rotterdam Prize"

Vraag

Did the Procelyne de Fles make prize plates? After researching the D.A.S.H cup 1963 and Rotterdam prize, I can not find any information about why this plate was produced or what the Dash acronym is. I also cannot identify the maker.

As you noticed, this plate was made at DPF in 1963 for a golf match. DPF made (and still makes) such plates to order for all kinds of competitions / festivities. This plate was awarded to the participants as a souvenir instead of a medal. Edition is unknown. Painted by W.ten Hacken, who painted there from 1939 to 1984. This tournament was probably organized by Dash, the wash detergent that was top of the bill at the time.

Kind regards, Franky

 

 

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, but made after 1850 After 1850, the earthenware production technique changed at the only remaining pottery in Delft. This technique goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • Mark of a Delft pottery/factory In the 19th century, a financial incentive arose to sell more new earthenware as antique Delftware, sometimes even bearing fake Delft factory marks. Read more

Who knew that knowledge of the Dutch detergent industry would come in so handy in Delftware! Thank you Franky for your interesting observations
