Vest Keramiek was a Dutch ceramics company founded by brothers Marius and Hugo van Woerden, operating from 1965 until 1984. Initially, from 1966 to 1973, their products bore the name "van Woerden Gouda Aardewerk," after which they rebranded to "Vest Keramiek Gouda-Holland."

The van Woerden brothers were known for their distinctive pottery, which often featured smooth, shiny white glazes. Their product range included various vases, pots, and other ceramic items, identifiable by specific model numbers and unique glaze patterns.

After closing Vest Keramiek in 1984, both brothers continued their involvement in ceramics. They established Brothers Stoneware Co. in Canada during the 1980s, producing pottery under this new label. Marius van Woerden remains active in the ceramics community in Canada, while Hugo returned to the Netherlands and continues to work in the pottery industry alongside his children.
