<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 3993, member: 50&quot;]I do have the book <i>The World of Gouda Pottery </i>however they focus on what they call First Period 1898-1917 and Second Period 1918-1945. These I believe are the most desired and collected periods. The Third Period would date 1946-1964 so yours (theirs) would fall in that period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking online at marks the word Joma seems to appear near the top of the mark so I too believe it&#039;s the pattern name based on the position of other pattern names on other PZH marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>There apparently were so many patterns that they started running out of names for them and were naming them after every flower, female name etc that they could think of. &quot;At one point, frustrated designers (assuming that every flower and female name had already been used) strung together meaningless combinations of letters.&nbsp; even a single letter, such as S, M or T, could represent a pattern.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The books lists many artists from the first and second periods but no one named Joma.&nbsp; They say that information about third period decorators is available at the Catharina Gasthuis Museum library if you wanted to follow that direction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
