Description from the seller
The one who comes in here as a friend.
It never comes early, it always comes late.
This plate is unmarked. Plates from the same series are marked with a Potkachel, with 'Holland Handelsmerk' underneath.
At the Het Schip Museum in Amsterdam, there is an extensive collection of this kind of signs. Therefore, here is the reference to the Amsterdam School.
These signs are often attributed to designer Christiaan Johannes (Chris) van der Hoef. There is indeed a sign known to be by his hand, bearing the same image as the sign from this series Oost west, thuis best.
