Title: Help Identifying the Marks on This Miniature Pitcher
Post by: myracles103 on September 16, 2013, 12:00:52 PM
I found this small pitcher (about 3" high) and just can't figure out the writing on the bottom. The first word looks like Zenith... I also make out the 53 and what looks like 15/9, but that doesn't make any sense to me. PLEASE HELP!

Gouda


* i should elarobate.

It's Dutch, and you'll see lots of Gouda on Ebay. Similar to Purmerend, which is finer and more expensive.

Yes Gouda !!  There is something written on the foot !! Can you read it or flip the pic of the bottom so that part is upright ??  Can`t read upside down !!

By the way, when someone works out what " elarobate " means, let me know  ;D
