Dutch Ceramics
Dutch ceramics refers to pottery and porcelain produced in the Netherlands, known for its distinctive blue and white designs. This style, often called Delftware, originated in the 16th century and was inspired by Chinese porcelain. Artisans used tin-glazing techniques to create vibrant, decorative pieces, including plates, tiles, and vases.
The production of Dutch ceramics flourished during the Golden Age of the Netherlands, with many workshops established in cities like Delft and Amsterdam. These ceramics often feature intricate patterns, landscapes, and scenes from daily life, reflecting the culture and artistry of the time. Today, they remain popular among collectors and art enthusiasts.
