Drukkerij v/h Koch & Knuttel”. In total 41 images of pipes on 7 pages, printed on a green background. With a loose insert consisting of 4 pages, of which 3 show assembled moulded pipes and 1 page lists the names of pipes supplied. Circa 1917. The firm was founded in 1898 by Gerrit Frederik van der Want and George Antonie Barras. Initially, the company focused on the production of (moulded) clay pipes, and later also on art pottery. This formed the basis for the well-known art pottery factory “Regina”, which was active in Gouda from 1917 onward.
