Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland - Plate - Ceramic - UNICA GOUDA - Diameter 38 cm

An exceptionally large and rare showpiece plate from the world-famous Dutch ceramic manufacturer Koninklijke Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland (Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland) in Gouda. This masterpiece comes from the exclusive “UNICA” line. That means it is a true one-of-a-kind piece. The ceramic painter did not copy a predefined serial decoration, but designed and painted the piece entirely by hand. The expressive motif features opulent blue flowers (thistle- or sunflower-like) with fine yellow and brown details on a warm ocher-orange background. The relief-like, wavy, serrated edge is adorned with a surrounding geometric-floral band in green and cream-white. The exterior is finished in an elegant, satin-matte petrol- or sea green glaze. The underside is entirely hand-signed and documents the authentic provenance: • Model number 5110/35 (with the 35 indicating the impressive diameter) • The rare inscription “UNICA” • The official factory mark of the PZH (stylized house symbol) • The origin designation “Kon: Plazuid Gouda Holland” • The artist’s personal monogram/painter’s mark at the bottom. An impressive, museal collectible for lovers of high-quality Dutch studio ceramics and mid-century design.
