Dutch Delftware is a type of pottery that originated in the Netherlands during the 16th century. It is known for its distinctive blue and white designs, which are inspired by Chinese porcelain. The pottery is made from earthenware and is often decorated with intricate patterns, floral motifs, and scenes from everyday life. The city of Delft became the center of this craft, where artisans developed their own techniques to replicate the look of imported porcelain. Today, Delftware remains popular for its artistic value and historical significance, often used in home decor and as collectible items.
