Stand

Bloempot, De, 1731

The signature on the underside of this footed stand suggests that it was made in the Rotterdam tile factory of Jan Aelmis, which also produced faience. However, a second signature refers to Cornelis Bouwer, owner of De Witte Ster factory in Delft. Aelmis and Bouwer were related, so the piece could be an example of collaboration.
