Antique Questions Forum / Help Identify Pottery Piece of Dutch Girl w/Sailboats
« on: January 16, 2009, 08:06:37 pm »
I've added a couple of other and hopefully better pictures that may help piece together the origins of this piece -- thanks for looking.
I have a few pottery antiques left to me by my mother and grandmother. Among them is very old, small pottery piece that has a hand-painted Dutch girl with three boats behind her. Mom told me it was given to her as a girl by an old woman
who came to America from Holland. I'm not sure if it was intended to be a cup or a small flower pot. It has the word "Volendam" along the outside of the base and underneath, it has several etched-in markings that appear to be 1/1/2 and A B or perhaps A/3 and 1144 or 114L and T.SL or P.SL it also says "made in Holland". I learned that Volendam was a small fishing village in the Netherlands. Would anyone have any ideas on the history of my little Dutch girl and who might have made her? Thanks in advance!
