<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 43239, member: 308"]I think I've figured this one out but would like to know if anyone can confirm. I picked this up at an estate auction for a woman who liked to vacation in the Netherlands. She had a lot of delft items that I thought went too high but I did manage to win this crock. As best I've been able to determine The Sierkan was some type of milk co-op in the Hague. I'm not sure what the HMI stands for but I'd guess some variation on His or Her Majesty. It's small for a crock - measures about 3 3/8" high and 4 1/2" across the top. I'm assuming it's a newer souvenir piece rather than an older crock. Does this make sense? Thanks for whatever insight you can provide.
