Panel Tribute To Jeroen BoschDelft Blue pottery and tattoos may not be the most obvious combination, but they have more in common than you might think. Parallels can be found in their origin, meaning, craftsmanship, and mastery. This plate is a portrait of Henk's wife, Louise.
Schiffmacher Royal Blue Tattoo is the result of a unique encounter between the world of tattooing and the age-old tradition of Delft Blue. The distinctive visual language of tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher is translated into ceramics and connected with the craftsmanship of Royal Delft. The result is a pronounced collection where symbolism, history, and craftsmanship come together in a powerful, contemporary form.

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.
