The clay
A unique earthenware blend perfected over centuries, still mixed and cast by hand in our Delft atelier.

De Porceleyne Fles / Royal Delft has been producing decorative wall plates since the early years of Joost Thooft. Initially, plates smaller than 22 cm were intended as tableware; it was only later that they were used as decoration. The plates were introduced in the 1920s and 1930s with Delft Blue decorations in the center.

Royal Delft presents its newest tableware collection, inspired by centuries-old landscape painting tradition. The Dutch Dawn Collection captures the serene mystique of the Dutch landscape at first light, bringing calm and beauty to the table.

Inside De Porceleyne Fles
Same building. Same recipe. Same gesture of the brush — passed painter to painter since 1653.
A unique earthenware blend perfected over centuries, still mixed and cast by hand in our Delft atelier.
A single cobalt oxide that turns deep Delft blue only after the final firing — the colour of every piece since 1653.
Years of training before a brush ever touches a finished piece. Every stroke is original — no decals, no transfers.
