Vor 400 Jahren kamen die ersten Schiffe der Niederländischen Ostindien-Kompanie zurück in die Niederlande, gefüllt mit blauem und weißem Porzellan aus China. Dieses Porzellan wurde bei wohlhabenden Familien wie den europäischen Königshäusern sehr beliebt. Als der Import von chinesischem Porzellan infolge von Bürgerkriegen in China zurückging, nutzten die niederländischen Töpfereien die Gelegenheit und entwickelten ihre eigene Version dieses blauen und weißen Porzellans. Dies führte zur Geburt von Delfter Blau in den Niederlanden. Heutzutage ist Delfter Blau ein echtes Wahrzeichen der Niederlande.

Delft is the city that gave Delft Blue to the world. On this private tour, you explore both sides of that story. Entrance tickets, audio tours and the transfer to and from Royal Delft are included. Your walking tour begins at the Market Square and takes you through Delft's old town: past the New Church and the leaning Old Church, along the canals, and through the stories of Vermeer, William of Orange, and Antony van Leeuwenhoek. Your guide shares the stories hidden behind the city's facades, at your pace. Then you visit Royal Delft, the only Delft Blue manufacturer still operating since the 17th century. In the museum and factory, you see how craftspeople produce and hand-paint Delftware using authentic techniques passed down for centuries. Royal Delft also has a shop and a cafe if you want to linger around. If you have any special requests, just let us know.
