Introduction

Royal Delft, located in the center of Delft, Netherlands, is the famous Delft Blue pottery factory that has been producing ceramics since the 17th century. It began by imitating Chinese blue-and-white porcelain and gradually developed into a top European ceramics brand, regarded as a Dutch national treasure. The factory still uses 17th-century hand-painting techniques, with each piece completed and signed by a master painter. Visitors can tour the pottery workshop, the royal collection showroom, and the historical painter's studio to understand the complete process of Delft Blue production from clay to firing. As the royal purveyor to the Dutch royal family, the factory has deep royal connections and is a must-visit destination to experience Dutch craft traditions and royal culture. The factory also offers painting workshops where visitors can try their hand at the iconic blue painting technique.
