Dutch Delftware

Dutch Delftware is a type of fine, tin-glazed pottery from the Netherlands, originating in the 16th century. Known for its bright white background and intricate blue designs, it often features landscapes, floral patterns, and scenes inspired by Chinese porcelain. Delftware was highly valued both domestically and internationally, serving as decorative objects and functional ware such as plates and pitchers. Its distinctive style combines European craftsmanship with Asian aesthetic influences, making it an iconic symbol of Dutch cultural and artisanal heritage.
