Catalogue Note
After several years of financial difficulty the Loosdrecht porcelain factory's founder Vicar de Mol died in poverty in 1782 and two years later the factory closed. Due to the interest of several financiers the factory was moved to a seemingly better economic location in Ouder-Amstel. Many employees, moulds, equipment and remaining stock were also re-located.
