On the first stickers that were used, only VAN WOERDEN or MADE IN HOLLAND was written. These vases are made from black and red clay.
I do not have the sticker on the right in my collection. It is the oldest.
The vase is owned by Guido Van de Heule.
On the stickers on the right it was first written "van Woerden" and later "van Woerden GOUDA POTTERY".
These stickers were used until 1973.
A hang tag was used for a short time. This hang tag is not in my possession.

From 1976 onwards, stickers from Vest Keramiek were introduced, with an image of a castle with two towers.
At first it also said "v. WOERDEN - AARDEWERK", but later it has disappeared.
In the 1980s a white sticker was also used on white pottery.

Later, a larger stamp with the name "MARIUS VAN WOERDEN" was sometimes used.
The cast vase on the right was signed by Marius on July 15, 1966. Probably made during a demonstration.
An ink stamp was required to export the vases to the US. On the bottom it said "VAN WOERDEN HOLLAND".
For a short period, numbers were casted into the bottom. For export, "MADE IN HOLLAND" was sometimes added.
