The one on the left is made bij pottery Ons Ideaal from Gouda, founded in 1941 and dissolved in 1946. P.Hortensius continued the company under the same name until 1989. It dates between 1946 and 1989.

The other one is made by VLs ( Potterie Velsen -Sassenheim ).Originally founded in 1920, several changes during different periods to move to a new building in Sassenheim during the Second World War - due to the occupation of the factory by the Germans. The factory was active until 2003. So your item dates from the period between 1946 and 2003.

The number on your item may be the year, but it is probably a model number. The focus there was mainly on souvenir work.

kind regards Franky

  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more
