Amsterdam School • saying board
Home is worth its weight in gold • ca. 1920–1930
Home is worth its weight in gold: saying board with a spinner by the hearth, within a floral border of rosette flowers and feathered leaves. Unnoticed; from the Holland Handelsmerk series, a trademark under which porcelain by Gutherz also appeared.
Home is worth its weight in gold, in rust-brown stencil letters around a domestic scene: a woman at the spinning wheel by the tiled fireplace. A saying board in the style of the Amsterdam School, Art Deco, circa 1920-1930. Stencil decoration, brush-coloured.

At a glance:
Material: white earthenware, stencil decoration brush-coloured, transparent glaze
Dimensions: height 3.5 cm, diameter 22.5 cm
Weight: 390 g
Brand: no factory mark, signature or label observed; back is white
Dating: ca. 1920-1930
Provenance: From the collection of Decaders Gallery
Description and context:
Round plate with the saying Home is worth its weight in gold. On the banner six rosette flowers in cream with a pink center, connected by feathered leaves in two shades of green. Inside a block band in ochre and green. In the mirror a woman in a black jacket and green skirt at the spinning wheel. Above the fire hangs the kettle, on the mantelpiece a cabinet setting of blue-and-white vases around a candelabrum. Two clover leaves flank the saying. The plate belongs to a series of saying boards known to collectors as Holland Handelsmerk, after the brand featuring a pot-bellied stove that some boards carry.
Condition:
Good. Banner and edge: no chips or hairlines observed. Glaze front: a few dark specks, production-related to this serial work and no damage. Back: white, with the usual bake faults such as glaze pinpoints, also production-related. No restorations observed; the plate has not been viewed under UV light. See the images. Offered as a decorative object, not intended for use with food.
In the interior:
Fits in an Amsterdam School, Art Deco, or eclectic interior, above the mantel or in the kitchen. The fresh green complements white, oak, and tile work.
Shipping:
Professionally packed in a sturdy box with cushioning material, for fragile objects a double box. Always insured shipment with Track and Trace. See feedback from previous buyers.
Attribution and sources:
Holland Handelsmerk, on the basis of image comparison with the same model in the collectors’ catalog LastDodo; this specimen is unobtrusive. Holland Handelsmerk is a trademark and not a factory. Under this brand porcelain also appeared around 1915, produced by Gutherz in Altrohlau. A Mehlem plate with the same saying has a different decoration. A factory or designer is not claimed.
