This tea and breakfast service (model '4300'), highly unusual both in design and in decoration, was designed in 1926 by Christiaan Johannes (Chris) van der Hoef for Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland [Earthenware Factory South Holland] in Gouda. It was cast from white fired clay and austerely decorated with a black geometric line design. The black line with blocks that was applied to the handles is reminiscent of a protractor. The little stripes painted on the top of the cups and other items show a similarity with the measuring units on a ruler.
