Regina was an art pottery factory in the Dutch city of Gouda, founded in 1898.
The factory was founded in the coronation year of Queen Wilhelmina, 1898, hence the name Regina.
The factory was founded by Gerrit Frederik van der Want, a descendant of the Gouda pottery family Van der Want, and Georges Antoine Alexis Barras, a Belgian financier and art collector.
Their initials WB are therefore on almost all products. Regina was able to start producing art pottery in 1917, because the company was able to buy a number of (pottery) molds from the bankrupt Hague pottery factory Rozenburg, which produced high-quality pottery in the period from 1883 to 1917.
The pottery factory closed in 1979.
