Help! I have a blue and white porcelain windmill that has (779 1727 Zenith Gouda Holland) written inside of it. I need to know the approximate value. It stands about 10" high (with the blades). Unfortunately two of the blades were broken during a burglary. Any assistance you can give me would be most appreciated.

There was once a time long ago when i knew a fine gentleman who could fix such a thing. But that man has since moved on to bigger things. I think i heard something about an exposition that will take place in Brandon Manitoba on july 19th this summer. For information just call 613-824-0842

My web research indicates that tho' pottery was made in Gouda Holland from the 1700's that Zenith Gouda was later from late 1800's and the blue & white Zenith Gouda from about 1920's.
Your insurance co would pay you replacement value? Guessing less than $100. But if you have reason to believe it's earlier than that it would be in your interests to have the piece evaluated by a porcelain expert. There's really nothing like having an object in hand. Best wishes in your continuing search. KB
