TRIAL LUSTERWARE PLATE BY L.CACHET
RUBY JUBILEE QUEEN WILHELMINA 1938
Following Friggo Visser’s* Lion Cachet study, first in 1994 for the monograph of the Drents Museum Boymans and later for his in PowerPoints documented reading, the particular graphic aspect of the design in question – attributed by him, to 1938 under the luster techniques of Goedewaagen in the 30s.
There is no evidence of a trade edition being released; the Goedewaagen archive for 1938 does have an advertising photo, but this of significantly less interesting work. Only two trial plates exist. Incidentally Lion Cachet in 1938 had obviously at the Royal Delft more success with his design of the year to mark the same event for the Dutch Trading Company.
