A Dutch Family

For centuries the Dutch have understood to produce, handle and enjoy plants and spices, as well as utensils for their usage. This little family in my collection exemplifies one of their fields.

Gouda is not just a famous cheese, but home to the Royal House of Goedewaagen which has been making smoking products since 1610 and to Zenith van der Vandt, since 1749 makers of ceramic pipes.
