Delftware, also known as Delft’s blue, is a type of pottery that originated in the city of Delft in the Netherlands during the 17th century. The name “Delft’s blue” comes from the city of Delft, where this style of pottery was first produced.

The term “blue” is added to the name because Delftware is often characterized by its blue and white designs. The blue color in Delftware was influenced by the popularity of Chinese porcelain in Europe at the time, particularly the blue-and-white porcelain produced during the Ming Dynasty in China. Dutch potters tried to imitate this style and began producing their own version of blue and white pottery, which eventually became known as Delftware or Delft’s blue.

Delftware became highly sought after and exported throughout Europe, and it remains an iconic style of pottery to this day.
