Delfts Blauw

Delfts blue

From the 17th century, Delft started producing Delft Blue. This pottery, inspired by Chinese porcelain, was very popular, especially among the wealthier families. For that reason, in 1695 there were no fewer than 30 pottery bakeries active in Delft. Today, however, these are only a few. The pottery produced in Delft is provided with a 'Delft' brand on the bottom of the product. However, copyright has never been applied for for this brand, which means that it does not guarantee that it was actually manufactured in Delft in a traditional way. The products of 'non-Delft' brands that are included in this category therefore do not come from Delft itself, but have been produced in a qualitative way.
