Provenance The Phyllis Ritvo Collection of Gouda Pottery A graduate of Wellesley College with a graduate degree from Northeastern University, Phyllis began collecting Gouda pottery in 1962, when she bought her first piece in an antiques shop for $27. Her growing obsession with both the pottery and its history took her to museums, libraries, and shows throughout the United States and the Netherlands. With the aid of many antiques shows, auctions, and later the internet, Phyllis, together with her husband Gene, amassed a diverse collection encompassing a wide variety of Gouda wares. And after ten years in the works, Phyllis authored the book The World of Gouda Pottery in 1998.

Note: As mentioned in that auction catalogue, “Although the precise history of this particular vase is not known, it is very similar to a vase exhibited in 1893 at the Chicago World’s Fair, and now in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The vase was considered to be the crowning glory at the Doulton stand in 1893, and a similar one was said to have been ordered for the Gaekwad of Baroda at a staggering price of $6,000. The glaze on the original vase when taken from the kiln was found to be imperfect and a duplicate was made. It is known from the records kept by Royal Doulton that two versions of the vase were made, but not clear whether the one intended for the Indian palace was ever delivered there after the initial firing problems. It is possible therefore that this vase was the one intended for the Gaekwad of Baroda.” $20,000-30,000 69.
