INTRODUCTION
JEMA pottery from Holland doesn’t mean a lot to most collectors in and out of Holland and very little has been this particular brand of pottery. Also I, having interest in Dutch 20th century pottery and having read a variety of books on Dutch pottery, had even never heard of it only until a few years ago on a trip to South Africa.
On a local market about 3 years ago I bought three lustre pieces that were a bit over the top but actually quite striking, detailed and well made, all three of them reading ‘JEMA Holland’ engraved in the base and a number. Searching for more information on Jema resulted in almost nothing and through a collectors bookstore I found out that there was probably no book written about it. After some more research I decided this brand of pottery really deserved a place in Dutch pottery history, between many different pieces many of them well detailed resembling for example Beswick animal figurines, others very similar to the ‘Hummel’ figurines ( more about that later) and hundreds of large figurines that just catch the eye.
Strangely enough there is not so much interest for Jema pottery in Holland and I found the largest amount of collectors is in United Kingdom and Australia.
