About the maker: Plateelbakkerij Ram began in 1921 in Arnhem with executing the designs of Theo Colenbrander (1841–1930). Besides those abstract decors the factory made wall plates with animals after Roelof Sterken; painters such as Adriaan Kool and Willem Elstrodt are named. Production by Ram is documented until about 1960. This plate bears a different decor from that series: a Delft floral decor under the same mark. In the interior: Fits in a country, classic or eclectic interior, above a sideboard or in a hallway. The glossy glaze catches daylight and gives the colors depth. Condition: Good to very good. Front and back: no chips, hairlines or restorations observed. Underside: firing marks in the foot ring, where the plate rested in the kiln; characteristic of the firing process and no damage.
