Christmas dropCelebrate Christmas with Royal Delft! Royal Delft has an extensive Christmas collection, and all items can be combined with one another. This Christmas ornament from Royal Delft is flat and disc-shaped, measures 9.5 by 7.8 centimeters, and features a Dutch windmill landscape in Delft Blue. The windmill is Royal Delft's most iconic motif and is shown here in a winter landscape. Because both sides are decorated, the ornament remains interesting from every angle in the tree.
The design is applied to the ceramic using the screen-printing technique, a method Royal Delft has used since the late nineteenth century. The blue is under the glaze and therefore will not wear off. Amidst the gold and red in the tree, the blue and white stands out for its serenity. After the holidays, the ornament can also be displayed on a hook or left on a decorative dish.
The Blueware collection is inspired by traditional Delft Blue decorations and designed by a master painter from Royal Delft. The decorations are applied using a sophisticated screen-printing technique, a method that Royal Delft has been employing since the late 19th century. In this way, centuries-old decorative traditions and historical craftsmanship come together in a collection with a distinctive and timeless appearance.

De Porceleyne Fles in Delft
Centuries-old craftsmanship lives on in De Porceleyne Fles. The screen printing technique, with its origins in eighteenth-century England, is still an essential part of the decorating process. Here, heritage, precision and craft come together in every ceramic object.
Even when the screen printing technique is used, the hand of the Royal Delft master painter is still part of the design. The first design is put on paper with a brush, using the same black paint. Once a final design has been made, it is sent to the printer. The printer scans it digitally and then turns it into a screen print.
This is divided into four separate layers for the four different shades of blue. It is then printed onto plastic films, and the films are exposed onto a screen printing frame. In this way the design transfers from the film to the frame. This is done four times for the different shades of blue, after which a carrier layer is added on top. That carrier holds the entire design together.
The transfer is then applied to the glazed product, after which it fuses with the glaze layer during the second firing.
