Elephant (Olifant) - PZH - 1950's

10.0cm H by 9.0cm D

Originally designed by Chris van der Hoef in 1927/1928. Reproduced in the white glaze as advertising items for the Hille bakery & biscuit factory in Zaandam - their 50th anniversary. The larger Chris van der Hoef original elephants are highly sought after.

Pictures below show an advertisement for Hille biscuits. One can see their elephant logo. Grateful thanks to a Dutch friend for the pictures.
