Makkum Bowl ‘Bird’ (Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum)

This polychrome dish was made around 1980 in the Dutch earthenware factory Koninklijke Tichelaar in Makkum (Friesland). It is hand-painted, and at the bottom is the mark of the Tichelaar factory, the model number and the painter’s signature. The rim is decorated with flowers and geometrical motifs. In the centre are also flowers and a bird.

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