Background on De Vergulde Bloempot

Founded in the 17th century, De Vergulde Bloempot (The Gilded Flowerpot) became renowned for its exceptional decorative wares, often commissioned by the Dutch elite and foreign nobility.
The factory maintained high standards of craftsmanship throughout the 18th century, and collectors now prize its works for their elegance and historic importance..

Background of Dutch Delft

The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in “The Delft Pottery Maker,” written in 1794 and dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century.
Much of the most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft.
The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze.
They then began to cover the white tin glaze with a clear glaze, giving depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues.
Over time, they created a good resemblance to porcelain.
By approximately 1650, the technical skills of potters and painters had significantly improved, and Delft entered its golden age.
