  1. Hoi Mariette,

    Dank je wel voor dit bijzondere verhaal van een creatieve familie. Heel bijzonder dat de fabriek na al die jaren nog in het bezit van de familie is. Je lamp is prachtig! Ik heb zelf geen Limoges, maar ik kan het wel waarderen. Fijn dat Pieter de bedrading van de lamp zelf kan vervangen. Erg handig!

    Ee fijne dag!

    Lieve groet, Madelief
