Delft blue pottery. The pottery dates back to the 17th C, when Delft had over 30 potteries. The artisans took their inspiration from the Chinese and Japanese porcelain that was brought to the Netherlands by the Dutch East India Company. The main color that they used was blue, although other colors could be used too. You can still visit one of the factories today.
