Decor: Lyre Bird Year: around 1923. High:
27cm. Wide: 11cm Painted by:
AD = Arnoldus Hendrikus Dikhooff.
On the left the painter signature is unclear, it might be IJ IJ. In those days more signatures exist with double letters (like SS or TT etc), they
refer to a painter, but are not his/her initials. Also not all Gouda pieces with the markings Dutch Art Pottery have painter
initials or date markings.
On the right there are proper painter initials; AD, and these point to Mr Dikhooff who worked there around 1923. I believe the vases were produced until circa 1925.
