Vintage Ashtray - Westraven Utrecht - Holland - Earthenware - design
In 1844, the brothers Huibert and Hendrik Ravesteyn started making hand-painted tiles in Utrecht under the name Ravesteyn. In 1906 the factory was taken over by Frederik des Tombe. Shortly afterwards, a pottery department was also started with consumer pottery under the name 'Pottery Rembrandt Utrecht'.
The factory went bankrupt in 1917, but the management continued with a small number of employees under the name 'Faïence and Tile Factory Westraven'.
In the late 1930s, the artist Cris Agterberg designed more expensive and decorative pottery.
In the 1950s, the potter Leendert Blok, together with the manager Karel Antoon Bazuine, brought innovation to the pottery with the characteristic Chanoir pottery.
In 1963, Westraven was taken over by De Porceleyne Fles in Delft, where traditional painting stopped in 1994 and tiles were only produced with transfer technology under the name Westraven.
