Lidded vase by Rozenburg The Hague, made in 1895 or 1896, designed by Theo Colenbrander.

Description

This tall lidded vase was made by the Hague pottery factory Rozenburg in 1895 or 1896. It is the lidded vase from the well-known series (see photo below), designed by Theo Colenbrander. Unfortunately, the other parts from this set are missing. This lidded vase is therefore a one-off. It is an impressive vase, about 62 cm or 24.4 inch high and 20 cm or 7.8 inch wide. The vase is painted in a random and abstract pattern of beige, brown and black tones. The decor is called: Lelie (lily). The vase is well signed with the words: Rozenburg Den Haag (hard to read), the decor name Lelie and the work order number: 636. Unfortunately, the year mark is hard to read. This could be an M for 1895 or an NK for 1896. The vase has probably undergone a restoration on the belly in the past. You can see that because the glaze is a bit duller in some places and the craquelure is missing. The lid has a beautiful shine, but unfortunately a crack just below the point. This could be restored very well. Due to its size, this Rozenburg object is a real eye catcher!
