Round Tin with WindmillThis tea caddy is a beautiful small storage tin 12 centimeters high in Delft Blue. The tea caddy has a special place in Dutch tea culture. From the seventeenth century, tea was brought from Asia to the Netherlands and grew into a beloved, but expensive product. To store the tea carefully, special tea caddies were used that were not only practical, but often also richly decorated.
Royal Delft gives this traditional tea caddy a characteristic appearance in Delft Blue. This tea caddy is suitable for storing tea and at the same time forms a decorative object in the kitchen or on the table. A beautiful combination of Dutch history, functionality and Delft craftsmanship.
The design comes from a painter and is then decorated with screen printing, a technique that Royal Delft has been using since the end of the nineteenth century.
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.
