Help Identifying the Marks on This Miniature Pitcher
« on: September 16, 2013, 12:00:52 pm »
I found this small pitcher (about 3" high) and just can't figure out the writing on the bottom. The first word looks like Zenith... I also make out the 53 and what looks like 15/9, but that doesn't make any sense to me. PLEASE HELP!

Gouda


* i should elarobate.

It's Dutch, and you'll see lots of Gouda on Ebay. Similar to Purmerend, which is finer and more expensive.

By the way, when someone works out what " elarobate " means, let me know  ;D
