Pot, coffee
Loosdrecht
(Factory)
This coffee pot was made at the factory established in 1771 at Oude Loosdrecht in the Netherlands by Pastor Joannes de Mol as a work-creation scheme for the local inhabitants. Unfortunately we do not know which artist was responsible for the wonderfully lively painting of a vulture and other birds. It may have been the Frenchman Louis-Victor Gerverot (1747-1829), a much-travelled porcelain painter who worked in France and Germany during his career, and worked at the Dutch factory of Weesp in 1768-1769 and at Loosdrecht from 1775 to 1779,
