GOUDA-DESIGN
Tim & Linda from Manchester, England present Part 1 of their Gouda collection.
Tim & Linda tell us how their collection began - "We have been 'consciously' collecting Gouda on a fairly small scale for around 12 years, though our first acquisition goes back a lot further. I (Tim) inherited a table lamp from my mother that I remember being in the house as a child. I always liked it though I was never quite sure why and certainly knew nothing of Gouda or ceramics. I think it came to my mother as a gift from a slightly eccentric elderly neighbour. I believe this lady had worked as a buyer for a large store, possibly Kendal Milne's in Manchester. She also travelled quite a lot - a successful career and solo travelling was still fairly unusual for a single lady back in the 1950's and 60's! The lamp of course was from PZH in decor 'Corona' - still my favourite. I did not learn this until I was introduced to ceramics when I met Linda. She persuaded me to unearth the bits and pieces inherited from my mother and introduced me to the strange and dangerous land of antique fairs. That was that as they say - I was hooked."
