French Slips Vase PZH 1924 Model: probably 1298 Height: 18 cm Belly width: 9.5 cm Signed and marked Cool copy Rare
The signed name on the vase, "F. Slips", refers to Frans (F.) Slips (1898-1983). He was a decorator at Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland. Frans Slips worked for this factory in the 1920s and 1930s and was responsible for decorating various pottery pieces. The images show a beautiful example of his decorative work, with characteristic patterns and use of colour. His signature indicates that he applied the specific decoration to this vase. This makes the vase extra special, because it shows Slips' individual artistic contribution. One of his most famous decorations from that year is the "Torrit" decor. The model number of the vase he decorated in 1924 can vary depending on the specific shape and size of the vase. One of the popular models with the "Torrit" decor is model number 1298. His work at PZH was part of a broader artistic movement in which Dutch pottery factories focused on creating innovative and attractive designs to compete with other European manufacturers. After his work at the PZH, he worked at the Plateelfabriek Schoonhoven.
