Rozenburg Den Haag, vase with handle, model 287A from 1895

Description

This vase was made in October 1895 by the Dutch pottery factory Rozenburg from The Hague (Den Haag). This is model 287A, a short vase with a wide belly and a single, large handle. There is also a version (B) with two handles. This vase is painted with a classic poppy motif. The flowers, leaves, and seed pods are visible against a neutral, light brown background. The vase is 15.5 cm (6.1 inch) high and 15 cm (5.9 inch) wide. The bottom is clearly marked with the words: Rozenburg Den Haag, the Mx (date stamp for 1895), and the work order number: 662. The work order logs indicate that W.F.A. Stolle painted the vase. A little chip on the base has undergone a restoration in the past. The handle and neck are in good condition.
