Featured societe ceramique maestricht plate?

dear all


plate is 13 1/2" diameter. went to this site: http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/...richts+aardewerk,+1836-1969/Societe+Ceramique, but couldn't find the exact pattern. just wondering if it is a Petrus Regout's creation? what year?

The plate is by Société Céramique, competitors of Petrus Regout. I think it dates from the early 20th century.
The design was around before either Société Céramique or Regout. It is commonly called Boerenbont, peasant or farmer's gaudy.
The name of the factory was in French, because parts of that province, Limburg, of The Netherlands have a long French language tradition. My grandmother was from there and her first language was French.
Boerenbont was exported to Indonesia, and no doubt found its way from there to Malaysia.
Boerenbont in colonial Indonesia:

 

They were competitors until they merged in 1958. Then I think the mark would have changed.

 

This is a pattern produced by many potteries, many in Britain. If you use the search terms stick spatter I think you'll find many such pieces. Some call it the Virginia pattern.

Replacements shows several similar patterns listed under Regout but they don't show backstamps.

 

If you scroll down this page you can find more info in English:

There is generally more info on Regout than on Société Céramique, even in Dutch. I can't find anything on which mark was used when. I did find that another mark was used from 1955 until the merger in 1958.

 

Here is a page below from "Discovering Dutch Delftware" with info on the marks if it helps.

I also had quite a lot of links saved concerning Dutch ceramics but many of the links no longer work. I did find this one if it helps but not in English. You can access some of the other marks with the links within the text.
