Hugo en Marius van Woerden
Vest Keramiek Gouda-Holland / van Woerden Gouda Aardewerk
Marius and Hugo van Woerden made pottery in the Netherlands in the period 1964 - 1984.
Their pottery is also known as Vest Keramiek Gouda.
From 1964 to 1973 the brothers van Woerden made pottery with the name
"van Woerden Gouda Aardewerk".
In 1973 the name was changed in
"Vest keramiek Gouda-Holland".
Marius van Woerden lives in Canada and still occasionally makes pottery. You Tube has a video (January 2020) on which he shows how a piggy bank is made on a turntable.
