In 1777 Pieter Jansen founded a distillery in Schiedam. The company passed on from one generation to the next and it was actually Pieter Jansen's great-grandson and successor Herman who made the company a big success.
At the end of the nineteenth century an invoice of the glass supplier to one of his competitors was sent to Jansen by mistake. That's when he found out that the glass supplier charged Jansen much more for the bottles than he did his other customers. He was so angry with his supplier that he founded his own glass works which he called UTO. The letters stand for "Uit Tegenweer Opgericht", Dutch for "founded out of protest", in the meantime he used ceramic bottles like this one, a piece of history.
It is in good conditions with little restoration.
Beautiful example of a hand decorated Delft ceramics.
