Verwoerd Ceramics Online

In the codes used below the combination OL stands for oval, landscape orientation. It is followed by the rounded size of each model in millimeters. The sizes have been derived from the original trade names used by the Verwoerd workshop, and actual sizes may differ by one or two tenths of a millimeter. The models marked W are by P. Woerlee who was a painter for the Verwoerd Studio from 1953 to 1956, and who specialized in larger sizes. The models marked (*) may exist in both the Woerlee version, and the more sought after Verwoerd design. The model marked DJ is not by Verwoerd, but by H.C. de Jong who was a free lance decorator for the Verwoerd workshop from 1949 to 1956. There is a Verwoerd version as well. The silver mounted model OL14x26 is an example of the many variations produced by Schoonhoven silversmiths. The caption below the pictures shows the number of pieces sold, and the years in which they have been produced. Although we believe that these figures are a useful indication of the relative production sizes, they may be subject to change on the basis of further research results.
