Delftware or Delft pottery, Delft Blue Tulip Holders
Delftware or Delft pottery, also known as Delft Blue[1] (Dutch: Delfts blauw), is a general term now used forc tin-glazed earthenware, a form of faience. Most of it is blue and white pottery, and the city of Delft in the Netherlands was the major centre of production, but the term covers wares with other c, and made elsewhere. It is also used for similar pottery that it influenced made in England, but this should be called English delftware to avoid confusion.
Delftware is one of the types of tin-glazed earthenware or faience in which a white glaze is applied, usually decorated with metal oxides, in particular the cobalt oxide that gives the usual blue, and can withstand high firing temperatures, allowing it to be applied under the glaze. It also forms part of the worldwide family of blue and white pottery, using variations of the plant-based decoration first developed in 14th century Chinese porcelain, and in great demand in Europe.
Delftware includes pottery objects of all descriptions such as plates, vases and other ornamental forms and tiles. The start of the style was around 1600, and the most highly-regarded period of production is about 1640–1740, but Delftware continues to be produced. In the 17th and 18th centuries Delftware was a major industry, exporting all over Europe.#delfttiles #dutchtiles #antiquetiles #delftblue #delftware #reclaimed #dutchdesign #interiordesigner #interiors #18thcentury #collectibles #collectables #earthenware #shepherd #sunday #cold #treetravel,

A Visit to Royal Delft Pottery in Holland
- A Visit to Royal Delft Pottery in Delft, Holland, to see the world famous earthenware being hand-made and painted. Delft is world famous for its earthenware, which was styled on the imported Chinese porcelain of the 17th century. This beautiful, unspoilt city is more than 750 years old and began as the home port of the Dutch East India Company. We visit the Royal Delft factory, just 5 minutes' walk from our barge mooring to learn how this world-famous earthenware is made.
Delft lies on the Delftsche Schie with the old part of town ringed by canals. In the 17th century, the town's canal water became tainted, leading to a decline from 200 breweries to 20. In 1654, the Thunderclap, an accidental gunpowder explosion leveled half the town and killed hundreds.
But Delft quickly rebounded, thanks to riches the city amassed as the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. The porcelains brought back by their traders from the Far East proved irresistible, and in 1645, De Porceleyne Fles started making and exporting the blue and white earthenware that was to make the town famous.
Civil war in China had dried up the source for porcelains, and Delft potters leaped in and created the blue faience that soon became known as Delft Blue. The manufacture of Delft ware, which was world-famed from the 17th to the mid-18th century, has recently been revived.
Delft was the birthplace of the scholar and statesman Hugo de Groot, the painter Jan Vermeer, whose View of Delft is in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, and the scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek who mastered the fledging invention of the microscope.

The Dutch East India Company founded in 1602 was a major trading partner serving Asia. Although most of their consignments were imports from India, chief among them spices and sugarcane, Chinese porcelain began making its way into their cargo holds. The porcelain china with blue motifs became extremely popular with affluent families as well as the royalty of the Netherlands.
The importation of Chinese porcelain declined as a result of civil wars and unrest in China. Local pottery manufacturers saw this as an opportunity to fulfil the need for this coveted porcelain. The Netherlands did not possess the right kind of clay to make exact replicas of the sought-after Chinese pottery, however they were able to mimic it with a pottery technique that included a finishing touch of a thin glaze. The Dutch replications soon made inroads with affluent collectors along with becoming a local favorite among all classes.
The City of Delft, which was a home port for the Dutch East Indian Company was first in attempting to imitate the Chinese porcelain. When it became accepted and demand soared, 32 pottery manufactures in Delft began churning out this now Dutch product which eventually became known as Delftware or Delft Blue. Its popularity and the demand for the Netherlands new indigenous product, Delftware, soon led to specialties among the factories that had spread to Rotterdam which was home to 12 Delftware pottery factories.
Delft was a city with a history dating back to the 1100s. At the time of the revolution of Hollands own earthenware hand painted pottery it was also the home to a community of painters. The hand painted patterns of the Holland pottery factories had a ready resource of painters seeking work, this worked out well for the painters as well as the pottery factories.
In the 18th century the popularity of Holland’s prized industry was taking a hit from the discovery of porcelain clay in Europe along with white baking clay. It was an immediate challenger to the Delft pottery as it did not require the layer of white glaze, the more delicate patterns of the pottery made with the white clay were covered with a layer of transparent glaze.
By the end of the 19th century the once thriving Delft Blue pottery industry was left with one factory which gave up the technique of hand painting in favor of mass printing of the famed pottery. In 1876, Joost Thooft bought the remaining factory intent on restoring the old technique of manufacturing this earthenware that was once a national treasure. Along with his associate Abel Labouchere they succeeded in developing a mixture of white clay with the Dutch clay to produce an earthenware that resembled the stronger English earthenware that had gained favor throughout the world. Combining the new clay mixture with the hand painting techniques of the past, earthenware produced in Delft gained worldwide recognition. Joost Thooft added the initials JT and the word Delft to the trademark as a sign of authenticity. Upon Mr. Thooft’s early death at the age of 46, Abel Labouchere became the sole owner incorporating the factory as a limited liability corporation under “De Porceleyne Fles”. In 1919, in appreciation of the companies work in restoring the fame of Delft Blue produced pottery the word “Royal” was granted to “De Porceleyne Fles”.
Today visitors can tour the factory of the Royal Delft Group at Rotterdamseweg 196, 2628 AR Delft, Netherlands. Tours are available 7 days a week with seasonal touring times, check the web site for details and available tour packages.
Royal Delft offers a variety of packages that include exquisite coffee hour, lunches, dinners, painting classes or a Glorious High Tea at Brasserie 1653. The treats of High Tea are made in accordance with recorded recipes from the 17th century which include the spices characteristic of a time when they were imported by the Dutch East India Company.
A delicate meal, coffee, lunch or a short respite are all available at Brasserie 1653 which is accessible with or without admission to the factory museum tours. Brasserie 1653 is a light and airy European style cafe that overlooks the courtyard of the factory museum.
The factory museum shop features a superior collection of Delft Blue including dinnerware, vases, jewelry as well as themed Delft Blue for holidays. A visit to the Royal Delft Blue is more than a tour of a pottery factory, it is an immersion into another century, another culture and a product that is a work of art. It is well worth a day’s journey to include Delft on your Netherlands experience.

Opening Royal Delft Experience 31 mei 2012
Videopersbericht van de officiële opening van de Royal Delft Experience door Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Margriet.
Delft (BENELUX _ Hollandia )
DELFT ősi város és egyben község, azaz alapfokú közigazgatási
egység Hollandia, Dél-Holland tartományában.
Rotterdam és Hága között épült. Sok csatornájával tipikus
holland város. Híres szülötte Jan Vermeer van Delft,
híres terméke - a helytelenül porcelánnak, illetve
kékporcelánnak- nevezett delfti fajansz (Delftware),
amiről a „a fajansz városának” is nevezik.
Itt ölték meg I. Orániai Vilmost.
A település a 13. században lett város, városi levele 1246-ban kelt.
Delft a középkori Németalföld az egyik vezető városa volt.
A Holland Kelet-indiai Társaság hajói innen indultak útnak.
Kapcsolata az Orániai-házzal akkor kezdődött, amikor
I. Orániai Vilmos (a Hallgatag Herceg) 1572-ben ide helyezte
székhelyét. Vilmos vezette a spanyolok ellen vívott függetlenségi háborút.
Vilmost 1584-ben a delfti Prisenhof udvarán gyilkolta meg
Balthazar Gerards. A herceget Vilmost az Újtemplomban temették el, mivel a család temetkezési helye Bredában spanyol kézen volt;
ezután ide temették az Orániai-ház többi tagját is.
II. Fülöp spanyol király 1580-ban kiátkoztatta Orániai Vilmost,
és 25 ezer arany vérdíjat tűzött ki a fejére.
Néhány sikertelen merénylet után 1584. július 10-én,
egy fanatikus katolikus, Balthasar Gérard orvul lelőtte Vilmost
Delftben.
Mint családjának többi tagját, a delfti Újtemplomban temették el.
Emlékét ma is szeretet és tisztelet övezi. Őt nevezik „Hollandia atyjának”.
Szobrát Hága egyik legszebb terén állították fel,
illetve a holland himnusz is róla szól.
