400 Years ago the first Dutch East India Company ships arrived back in Holland filled with the Chinese blue and white porcelain. This porcelain became very popular among affluent families such as the European Royals. When the import of Chinese porcelain declined as a result of civil wars in China, the Dutch potteries seized the opportunity and developed their own version of this blue and white porcelain. This resulted in the birth of Delft Blue in the Netherlands. Nowadays, Delft Blue is one of the true Dutch icons.

  • Royal Delft - Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles, Delft, The Netherlands
    From the approximately 32 potteries that were founded in the 17th Century, Royal Delft, established in 1653, is the only remaining Delftware factory left in Delft. It is a national heritage and a must-see when visiting Holland! Here, the renowned Royal Delftware is still entirely hand painted according to centuries-old tradition. In 1919 the company was awarded the prefix ‘Royal’ confi rming its special relationship with the Dutch Royal family. For generations the Dutch Royal family have been true admirers of Royal Delftware. Nowadays Royal Delft is not only a factory for Delft Blue and a knowledge institute for ceramics, but also a museum. When visiting Royal Delft you discover the complete history and the production process of Delft Blue and Royal Delft in an audiovisual presentation. You witness a painter at work and are introduced to the other two icons of Delft in the themed chambers: the dining room of Johannes Vermeer, the famous 17th century painter from Delft and the Royal Chambers containing the collection of Orange Ceramics that has been produced over the centuries for the Dutch Royal family. In the museum, you can admire the collection of antique and modern pieces of Delft Blue earthenware and in the factory you can witness the authentic production process. In the showroom a comprehensive collection of hand painted earthenware by Royal Delft and a collection of souvenirs is on show. Royal Delft offers workshops during which you can try your hand at painting Delft Blue. Overlooking the beautiful courtyard the Brasserie serves delicious coffee, tea, lunches and High Teas. Tours are available in various languages.

I visited first thing in the morning on a Thursday at the end of November. I was surprised there were only 2 other visitors as it was market day in Delft. Regardless, the information presented about the history of the trade and the production details is interesting. There are lots of little films throughout the way to show you in detail how things are done. This is is good and I'm glad I didn't skip over these little films because the factory portion of the tour only showed the painting of a vase and not the actual molds/firing/etc. The location is great because it's only about a ten or fifteen minute walk along a lovely canal from the train station. You can then backtrack to visit the city center. Not only are these walking routes short, but they are very scenic. My grandma gave me some pieces so I was interested in visiting this place, but if you aren't interested in decorative arts or pottery, this might not be your jam.

Five out of five - friendly staff from the start to the exit. Had a great chat with a lady who explained how the royal family’s dinner service was decorated.

I cancelled it several times, which was ignored. Amount was still debited. It's impossible, it's not customer-friendly.
