Hollow-ware/dinnerware & decorative art pottery, the first Amstelhoek products were made of super white poured clay, painted decorations under glaze, with their own very contemporary hard line shapes & decorations, no imitations of Rozenburg-pottery like other Dutch pottery factories did.

In 1900 was an exhibition with their most famous ceramics in Dutch red and brown baking clay, with slipware & inlay with contrasting colours of clay and different shades of glaze, portrayed with geometrical (spirals & faces) or animal figures (peacocks & hinds). Chris van der Hoef was the ceramics designer of this great factory. Amstelhoek went bankrupt in 1904, Only the ceramics part of this decorative art factory continued by J.B. Lambeek jr. & P.J.C. Brauns as “Voorheen Amstelhoek”. Sales were disappointing, auction of ceramics in 1905. Take over Haga in 1907, special interest in her serial models & poured shapes of ceramic figures (figurines & animal groups in faience and terra cotta, after Teixeira de Mattos e.a.), Little vases with colourful glazes by Chris Lanooij. Lost position as renewer after 1904, no new pottery models/shapes designed after 1907. The factory idea was good shaped affordable Dutch quality pottery, replacing bad made foreign pottery. Received a silver medal at the World Fair of 1900 in Paris. Soon after their World Fair entry in 1910 in Brussels (received the Grand Prix prize) they merged with de Distel.
