GOUDA-DESIGN
Figurine - PZH
- circa 1935
"Little Doreen
with ball and dog"
17.5 cm H
Made by Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland
and designed by Eta Lempke. This is a visually beautiful figurine
as the little girl teases the dog by hiding its ball. The breeze
lifts her dress to reveal her 'knickers'! This figurine was bought
at the Saturday antiques market in Delft and has special meaning
for us. We gave it the name of 'Little Doreen' after our friend
from Delft called Doreen. After a previous day when we failed
to buy the same figurine from a collector, she literally said
on the morning of the market - 'Have faith. I'm sure all will
be well and you will find another'. The very same day here was
the figurine for sale on the market! Thanks to Doreen!
Sadly our friend Doreen passed
away on 26 December 2013 after a very short illness. Her 'figurine'
will always remind us of her life.
"Though my soul may
set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light."
