GOUDA-DESIGN

'The Holthuysen Collection' ~ Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland.

Part 1.

From the superb collection of our dear Dutch friends. We are so lucky to be able to have seen and handled all the items from their collection many times. Certainly one of the very best collections of early PZH in private hands we have ever seen. We can only show you just a few. Some of the items can be seen in MuseumgoudA in Gouda.
