History
In 1883, Wilhelm Wolff founded the N. V. 's Gravenhaagsche Kunstaardewerk factory, with the aim of imitating blue and colored Old Delft pottery. In 1884 Th. A. C. Colenbrander is the artistic director of the factory. The designs he made were revolutionary. The products from that time are still considered highlights in the Dutch pottery industry.
In 1886 the company was named N. V. Haagsche Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg.
After a difficult period, J. Jurriaan Kok was appointed as director in 1895. Both the ceramic quality and the decorations improved. These decors were more lively, with birds, fish, sometimes in combination with flowers, in contrast to the previous dark floral decors.
A new highlight was the development of eggshell porcelain. This is a very thin type of pottery. Production started in 1899. This porcelain was first exhibited at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. The interest was enormous, and several museums decided to purchase it.
In 1913 Jurriaan Kok left the company. After the First World War broke out in 1914, production came to a standstill and was closed down in 1916.
