Delft Blue

Delft Blue Pottery Collection from the Netherlands

Discover the timeless artistry of Delft Blue pottery, the iconic Dutch ceramic tradition born in the city of Delft, Netherlands. Also known as Heinen Delfts Blauw, this pottery style originates from 17th-century Dutch artisans who were inspired by Chinese porcelain. Each piece in our Delft Blue collection, from vases and teapots to plates and Amsterdam houses, is a continuation of that heritage, hand-finished with cobalt blue glazes on white clay. Now available right here in Australia, these collectible designs bring the essence of Holland into your home.

The Heritage of Delft Blue Pottery in Holland

Delft Blue pottery has its roots in Delft, a historic Dutch city known for innovation and artistry. In the 1600s, local potters began crafting their own ceramics inspired by imported Chinese porcelain, using locally sourced clay and a tin-based white glaze. The addition of cobalt oxide produced the distinctive blue hue that defines Delftware today. These artisans didn’t just make pottery — they preserved Dutch cultural identity through motifs of windmills, tulips, and pastoral landscapes. Modern Delft Blue continues this legacy, standing as a symbol of Dutch craftsmanship admired around the world.

Traditional Dutch Motifs — Windmills, Landscapes & Flowers

What makes Delft Blue pottery unmistakable are the traditional Dutch motifs that connect art with storytelling. Each vase, plate, and tile depicts scenes of windmills turning over the Dutch landscape, floral garlands inspired by tulip fields, or sailing ships on the canals of Holland. These visual narratives represent the Netherlands’ golden age of craftsmanship while preserving stories of everyday life through porcelain and paint. Owning Delft Blue means owning a fragment of Dutch history, rendered in clay and cobalt.

Amsterdam & Royal Delft – Icons of Authentic Craftsmanship

Among the most prized pieces in the world of Delft Blue pottery are those produced by Royal Delft (Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles)—the last original Delft factory still operating since 1653. Their artisans still hand-paint each ceramic item using the same glaze formulas developed in the 17th century. From Amsterdam’s architectural house figurines to finely detailed Royal Delft vases, every creation links modern craftsmanship to its historic roots. Our collection includes both contemporary Delft designs and heritage reproductions, allowing you to connect with an authentic piece of Dutch artistry.

 Modern Inspiration from the Delft Blue and White Colour Palette

The Delft Blue colour palette—a harmony of cobalt blue and porcelain white—continues to inspire interior designers and ceramic artists alike. Modern design trends have embraced this timeless look in wallpapers, home décor, and tableware, creating a bridge between heritage art and contemporary living. From patterned Delft Blue porcelain to windmill-themed vases and floral teapots, the influence of Delft’s artistry endures across centuries. Each modern piece pays homage to the Netherlands’ aesthetic legacy while enhancing today’s homes with elegance and tradition.
