Hand-painted Christmas ornaments in polychrome — a timeless craft that’s a little less known than classic blue, yet still very much loved. Each piece is carefully painted by hand, bringing warm tones and delicate details together in a truly unique design.

Proudly produced in our atelier in Delft since 1975, where tradition and artistry meet in every brushstroke.

From raw clay to a finished piece 🤍

Every item we create—like this spoon rest—is carefully produced and hand-painted in our own atelier in Delft. From the moment the clay arrives to the final brushstroke, every step happens under one roof, guided by craftsmanship, patience, and passion.

It’s a process that takes time, but the result is something truly special: a unique piece made with care, tradition, and attention to detail.

Blue Monday? Not for these dancing penguins 💙🐧
While the world feels a little gloomy, these two are here to remind us to keep moving, smiling, and adding a little blue-and-white joy to the day. If penguins can dance through it, so can we ✨
Turn up the music, shake off the Monday blues, and waddle into the week with good vibes only.

Hand-painted vases, lovingly crafted in our studio in Delft 💙
These one of a kind ginger jars are truly unique pieces, each carefully decorated by hand following the centuries-old traditions of Delftware.

Delft Blue dates back to the 17th century, when local potters were inspired by Chinese porcelain. What started as a handmade alternative soon became an iconic symbol of Dutch craftsmanship and history.

With these ginger jars, we carry that heritage into the present – timeless, elegant, and rich in story.

From the molds to the kiln 🔥 — and always in balance.
In our studio, it’s all about harmony. Every step matters: pouring, shaping, drying, painting — and then into the kiln. That’s where Delftware becomes what it’s meant to be. 💙🔥
