Thanks Franky

I wonder if  these  'marks' may have been painted on tiles on the outside of the building in which the business was housed?  I have seen this done for other buildings in my research into the family history.

Your information is really appreciated, regards,  K

Thanks for the information and your quick response, Franky

I forgot to ask about the O, U and D marks. The timing fits perfectly and my father visited Nijmegen most years from 1931 so he was probably familiar with the Delft pottery factory. By 1939 my mother would have also been to Nijmegen with him so they may have seen the vase together before he bought it? My father kept many receipts for his purchases over the years, even from the Netherlands, but did not have one for the vase.

Best wishes, K
