Film award for jo otter 1934-1944

If there is an explicit mention of Mejuffer Jo Otter, it probably refers to a woman (at the time unmarried, hence 'Miss'). In that case, it is very likely that they mean the successor within the family business: Jo Schlee-Otter. She was a very remarkable and well-known businesswoman in Amsterdam's cinema world. Before she married Mr. Schlee (and was still Miss Jo Otter), she was already heavily involved in running the family cinemas.

She was a cinema manager in Amsterdam-Noord: She eventually took over the full daily management and operation of the Astoria Theater at Mosplein in Amsterdam-Noord.  

Her cinema style: While J.J. Otter ( her father) in the early years focused a lot on variety shows and live performances, after World War II she implemented a strict and successful film policy. She knew the audience in Amsterdam-Noord inside and out. Every week she deliberately scheduled a different film, always choosing two genres that were guaranteed to fill the halls in Noord: cheerful comedies or thrilling action movies.

your plate is made in 1944

“Rembrandt’s Mother”

Just to add this: Painted by Dick Dorresteijn. He is a well-known name in the history of Keramiekfabriek Velsen, after this factory moved to Sassenheim in 1942. He was not only active as an earthenware painter but later also took on the role of factory manager, succeeding Leen Marbus. Under his leadership and by his own hand, many pieces were produced in the recognizable Delft Blue style as well as polychrome. Think of hand-painted vases, wall plates, and complete cabinet sets. Although the factory in Sassenheim was active from 1942 to 2002, his active painting and management period is mainly placed around the 1950s to the 1970s/80s. His signature often consists of interwoven letters D (DD). Your plate therefore dates from that period. Best, Franky

“Rembrandt’s Mother”

This is made by VLs ( Velsen Sassenheim. ) So it's not authentic Delft

The start in Velsen (1920): The factory opened in Velsen-Noord under the name Potterie Kennemerland. The 'Velsen pottery' produced here became world-famous for its sleek Art Deco style, featuring geometric shapes and designs by top artists.

The relocation (1942): During World War II, the factory was forced to relocate to Sassenheim because its original location in Velsen had to make way for the German Atlantic Wall.

The Sassenheim period (until 2002): After the war, the factory continued operating in Sassenheim under the name Keramiekfabriek Velsen. Its style shifted drastically here: from modern Art Deco to traditional Delft Blue and decorative ceramics. The factory permanently closed its doors in 2002.

Unfortunatly values are not discused here.

Kind regards Franky

--------------------------------

De start in Velsen (1920): De fabriek begon in Velsen-Noord onder de naam Potterie Kennemerland. Het hier gemaakte 'Velser aardewerk' werd wereldberoemd om zijn strakke Art Deco-stijl met geometrische vormen en ontwerpen van topkunstenaars.

De verhuizing (1942): Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog moest de fabriek gedwongen verhuizen naar Sassenheim, omdat de oorspronkelijke locatie in Velsen moest wijken voor de Duitse Atlantikwall.

De Sassenheimse periode (tot 2002): Na de oorlog ging de fabriek in Sassenheim verder onder de naam Keramiekfabriek Velsen. De stijl veranderde hier drastisch: van moderne Art Deco naar traditioneel Delfts Blauw en sieraardewerk. In 2002 sloot de fabriek definitief de deuren.

Waarden worden hier helaas niet besproken.

Bord

Delfts omstreeks laatste kwart 18de eeuw. Nee, dit is hoogstwaarschijnlijk geen pannenkoekenbord (of pannenkoekschotel), al lijkt de vorm er op het eerste gezicht wel wat op omdat hij vrij plat is.

Het decor is een Europese interpretatie van Aziatisch porselein, ook wel Chinoiserie genoemd. In de 18e eeuw was men in Europa geobsedeerd door porselein uit China en Japan (zoals Imari-porselein).

Plate

Als antwoord op door Jan van den Heuvel1642

Dag Jan,

klopt inderdaad. was vergeten vermelden dat ze beide produceerden.  het bedrijf maakte vanaf de oprichting in 1947 handgeschilderde stukken in Delftse stijl.

Vanaf ongeveer 1980 werd het assortiment uitgebreid met borden en tegels voorzien van transferprints. Deze werden echter machinaal aangebracht dus handwerk/handpainted is inderdaad een verkeerde opvatting maar  wél een goed verkoopsargument. 

-------------------------------------------------

That's correct indeed. I forgot to mention that they produced both. The company made hand-painted pieces in Delft style from its founding in 1947.

From around 1980, the range was expanded with plates and tiles featuring transfer prints. However, these were applied mechanically, so handwork/hand-painted is indeed a mistaken notion but nevertheless a good sales argument.

Helaas namaak met vals merk. Mogelijks Noord Frankrijk.
