T.A.C. Colenbrander, N.V. plateelbakkerij 'RAM' Arnhem, Art Deco flower pot, decor 'Weefsel', 1924

Art Deco flower pot designed by Theo Colenbrander for Plateelbakkerij Ram (Ram pottery in Arnhem, The Netherlands). The pattern called 'Weefsel' ('Fabric') was hand-painted on the earthenware vase by painter Albert Peters. It was manufactured in 1924 and signed on the bottom. Christiaan Adriaan Theodoor Colenbrander (1841-1930) was originally an architect but became one of the first Industrial designers in the Netherlands. From 1884-1889 he was a designer and artistic director at the Hague Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg. In the period 1920-1925 the Ram pottery factory in Arnhem exclusively produced earthenware designed by Colenbrander. His works can be found in The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and several other public collections.
