Delft Blue Plate ‘Nehim-Hemsing’ (Plateelbakkerij RAM)

This unique Delft Blue plate was manufactured at the Plateelbakkerij RAM in Arnhem around 1955. It was made to commemorate the opening of a Nehim-Hemsing wood ware warehouse in Rijswijk. It is hand-painted: in the center there is a circle containing the Nehim-Hemsing wood ware factory. NEHIM is an abbreviation of Nederlands Eerste Hout Import Maatschappij. The warehouse was opened on May 1, 1953. The rim is decorated with floral motifs. On the back is the mark of the pottery (a ram), ‘made in holland’ and the signature of the painter.

Interior advice
This Delft Blue plate fits both a classic and a modern interior. For example, you can place it on a TV cabinet or in a bookcase. In addition, this plate can also be hung on the wall since there is an iron wire present at the back.
