Pottery in Gouda Gouda has had a major pottery industry since the Middle Ages. The pipe makers, who introduced their handicraft in Gouda in the 17th century, are renowned. Originally, these artisans were English mercenaries from Prince Maurits'army, seeking other work in peacetime or after discharge. Traditionally, Gouda had also been a trading city. This is due to its favorable location and because the Netherlands conducts a lot of international trade. Gouda has been able to maintain this trade tradition to this day. Who isn't familiar with Gouda cheese, Gouda 'stroopwafels', Gouda's Glorie and, of course, Gouda pottery? Gouda products suggest quality. This is also true for De Wit Montagne pottery; the company provides a high-quality product that is suitable for a broad market.
