Lambertus van Eenhorn (1651-1721)

Eigentümer der Manufaktur "De Metalen Pot" in Delft, 17./18. Jh.
"Like many Dutch Delftware factories, De Metaale Pot (The Metal Pot) factory originated as a brewery. In 1639, administrators of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) bought the building that was located on the Lange Geer, and used the space to house one of their chambers. About thirty years later, Lambertus Cleffius, who also owned Het Fortuyn (The Fortune) factory, acquired the property and converted the house, yard, sheds, and storehouse into a Delftware pottery. Native from Amsterdam, Cleffius was admitted as a master plateelbakker (potter) by the Guild of Saint Luke in June 1667. Lambertus Cleffius built his notoriety by creating fine pieces with an azure glaze. He died in January 1691, and on April 6th 1691, his company was publicly sold by his children’s guardians to Lambertus van Eenhoorn for the price of 9,500 guilders. The factory included a residence, work sheds, store rooms, timber sheds, lofts, and yards. ..." - http://www.aronson.com/in-depth/lambertus-van-eenhoorn/, 18.06.2017
