Art Nouveau hand-painted Gouda lustreware earthenware tray, model 4157, marked with the JT monogram and dated to around 1921, measuring 35.5 × 26.5 cm and in good used condition with minor signs of age and spots.
Description from the seller
Crimson poppies among curly leaves, signed by a Gouda painter with the monogram JT Johannes Tuinenburg under the Lazarus Gate. Bottle green, olive and petrol blue frame the poppies; two medallions with seed pods sit beneath mirrored glaze. Hand-painted glazed stoneware: the black contour lines are visible in relief. On a coffee table in daylight the glaze draws the eye to the poppies.

Description:
An octagonal tray with a flat mirror and a raised bottle-green rim with small dark stripe motifs. At the top stand two poppies in crimson and aubergine, left a turquoise medallion with lilac pearl spots, right a terracotta medallion with golden spirals. At the bottom a petrol-blue leaf coils with a spiral eye. The base is olive-green glazed, with an octagonal stand ring. Model 4157 is listed by the Ridgetop Collection as a 35-centimeter service tray, with two examples from 1918 and 1923.
About the maker:
Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, popularly known as Plazuid, began on 2 April 1898 in Gouda under Adrianus Jonker and Egbert Estié. Between 1919 and 1921 more than three hundred people worked there; this tray fits those years. The monogram JT is attributed in the Ridgetop Collection database to Johannes Tuinenburg (PZH 1914–1930). In 1930 the Royal title followed; in 1965 the factory closed.
In the interior:
On a stand against a light wall, the crimson of the poppies is the first thing the eye catches.
