Delft Blue

Delft Blue

Holland is synonymous with beautiful traditions. We are inspired here each day by our Dutch history, winding canals, the prestigious canal houses, and of course the contents of what these houses historically showcased. Back from the Golden Age of the Seventeenth century until today, Dutch history has been painted, sketched, photographed and preserved in items such as furniture, artworks and ceramics.

It has been said that the VOC (Dutch East India Company) imported Chinese porcelain in these early days, as they were held in very high regard and were often reserved for the very wealthy. When the supply of these illustrated beauties to Europe was paused, the Dutch were inspired to create their own version of the famous 'Blue and White' and highly decorated pieces emerged depicting the Dutch lifestyle. Fishing boats, windmills and landscapes became popular scenes and are still thriving today. We know this as Delftware.
