Zenith Gouda Windmill

[TeriH]

Help! I have a blue and white porcelain windmill that has (779 1727 Zenith Gouda Holland) written inside of it.  I need to know the approximate value. It stands about 10" high (with the blades).  Unfortunately two of the blades were broken during a burglary.  Any assistance you can give me would be most appreciated.

There was once a time long ago when i knew a fine gentleman who could fix such a thing. But that man has since moved on to bigger things. I think i heard something about an exposition that will take place in Brandon Manitoba on july 19th this summer. For information just call 613-824-0842

I have been a chronic crack cocaine user for 12 years and just recently sobered up after a long rehab period.  I beleive that antiqueing saved my life because now I'am a chronic antique collector:).  I beleive that I can help you find replaceable blades for your windmill Terih.  Just give me a shout @ 613-834-0338.  Please contact me Terih as i would really like to meet you and help you.

My web research indicates that tho' pottery was made in Gouda Holland from the 1700's that Zenith Gouda was later from late 1800's and the blue & white Zenith Gouda from about 1920's.  

Your insurance co would pay you replacement value?  Guessing less than $100.  But if you have reason to believe it's earlier than that it would be in your interests to have the piece evaluated by a porcelain expert.  There's really nothing like having an object in hand.  Best wishes in your continuing search.   KB
