Control of the company subsequently passed to Herman's sons, who expanded the laboratories and the furnace following a fire. Production became more complex and open to oriental influences (linear shapes and enamel decorations with a few basic colors were typical of Japanese ceramics). The advent of the third generation marked a fundamental transition towards a more contemporary style characterized by graphic decorations typical of the 1950s. The vase proposed here dates back to this period: it is a small circular vase in dark brown terracotta, decorated with a non-regular geometric pattern and only partially glazed in strong contrasting colours.
The vase is marked Zaalberg Holland on the base. This piece has an attribution mark,
