1921 PZH Gouda Vase Table Lamp, Art Deco, Murano Gold Velvet Lampshade

About the Item

Maya is a one-of-a-kind lamp lovingly handcrafted from an antique Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland (also known as Plazuid or PZH) Gouda vase. PZH was the first, the most important and the most iconic Gouda pottery factory (see below for more info). This vase was handmade & hand-painted there in 1921 according to the marking on the bottom. We’ve paired the base with a contemporary lampshade in a luxurious Murano Gold velvet with an inner platinum lining, custom made in an atelier near Amsterdam. Height: 60 cm (23.5 in) with lampshade Width: 32 cm (12.6 in) with lampshade E27 bulb fitting. We can adapt the plug depending on the country you will use it in. Gouda pottery, at its peak, was largely championed by the company Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, also known as Plazuid or PZH, which was hugely popular from 1900–1920's. Founded in 1898, they primarily made Art Nouveau and Jugendstil style pottery for their first twelve years, which was in vogue. However, they had the vision of introducing a new style to shake up the market and to satisfy the changing tastes of the public, which they achieved in 1909 with the introduction of a “matte-glaze” technique. This was a big shift in both PZH as well as Gouda pottery as a whole—in fact, Gouda pottery is often known for its appearance after 1909. Although it is a somewhat straightforward idea, matte-glaze was a definite shift in style. Basically, what was formerly high-gloss was now finished with a matte look, making for a softer aura of the entire piece. The matte-glaze technique came at a time when Art Nouveau was waning in popularity and factories—especially PZH—were looking for a new product. Along with the matte-glaze, PZH also introduced new shapes and patterns (which we’ll get to below). These qualities together form the most iconic Gouda pottery. These inventive techniques propelled the company to fame and immediately set it apart from competitors such as the Rozenburg factory based in the Hague. At PZH’s peak in 1920, they had roughly 300 people employed at the company and were very well-known.
