About HEMA: HEMA has been around for almost 100 years. Until 1926, department stores were mainly aimed at wealthy people, and the rest of the population had to pay every cent. Most store staff spoke French. But then HEMA came along. Something completely different. Founders Leo Meyer and Arthur Isaac wanted to open a department store for 'ordinary' people. A store for everyone. On November 4, 1926, the first store of the Hollandsche Eenheidsprijs Maatschappij Amsterdam, or HEMA, opened in the city center of Amsterdam. Where your nickel is worth a dime. Full of everyday items. A plate, soap or towel for not too much money. And that is catching on.

Art. nr. 13

CONDITION:

THE SET IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER USED. 

DUE TO IT'S HIGH AGE, AS GOOD AS A HUNDRED YEARS, THE GLAZE SHOWS SOME CRACKLING.

THE SET HAS NO REAL CRACKS OR CHIPS NOR STAINS.

ONE OF THE CUPS HAS A PRODUCTION FLAW, ON THE EDGE, IT HAS A SMALL INDENTATION.

THE MILK JAR HAS ALSO A SMALL PRODUCTION FLAW. ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HANDLE.      THERE IS A SMALL SPOT MISSING OF THE ORANGE DECORATION. IT'S NOT A CHIP AS THE SHAPE OF THE HANDLE UNDERNEATH IS PERFECT ROUND AND SMOOTH.

AS HEMA TRIED TO BE A LOW BUDGET STORE, IT SHOWS A LITTLE IN THE FINISH OF THE PIECES. I GOT THE IMPRESSION THE BUDGET FOR PRODUCTION WAS VERY LOW BECAUSE OTHERWISE THE PRODUCTS FROM THE SOCIETE CERAMIQUE MAESTRICHT ARE IMPECABLE.
