If you're torn between delftware vs. blue willow or you have no idea what the difference is, here's how to identify these vintage ceramics AND why you need them in your home!

This video will answer your questions around "what is delftware?" and what makes deft blue, delft porcelain, blue pottery, blue and white china, blue willow, blue will ceramics, and vintage china so unique. Spoiler alert: it's not all the same!

Delftware comes from the Netherlands, but you can also find influences from China, Italy, France, and more! The same is true about blue willow. Each country has made these designs their own, and that's what makes them so special.

*This week I am pulling out a never released video from our vault! I am sharing a throwback that explains the one color palette that I never design a space without that comes from my love for delftware and blue willow style. This video comes from our VIP client library that I have recently been pulling from to share with you every #FlashbackFriday, but this is such a good topic that I had to make a new blog about it!

Aronson Antiquairs: Five things to remember while enjoying Delftware

17 Comments / Delft Ware /

Dutch Delftware is initially a result of the first connection between the Dutch East India traders (VOC) and China. Initiated by the demand for the waning importation of Oriental porcelain from the 1640s, Delftware quickly became an iconic national product.

From the 1680s the Delftware industry constantly innovated with new shapes, decorations and functions. Their products were coveted by European nobility and royalty for their quality and diversity.

The city of Delft rapidly became an inspiration to many European and even Oriental potters. Fifth generation specialist Robert Aronson takes you past several objects and discusses five things to remember when looking at Delftware.

Delftware ‘Puzzle Jugs’ Explained

Leave a Comment / Delft Ware /

Delft puzzle jugs are a rare remnant of the drinking culture in the Netherlands. Delft examples can be found starting in the 1650s through the eighteenth century. The vessels were no ordinary jugs or tankards. They were not intended to function as drinking or pouring vessels, a fact made clear by the pierced openwork on the neck. Rather, they functioned as a game or conversation piece during a dinner party. A puzzle jug was referred to as a suijgkan (‘suction-jug’) in inventory lists of factories and potters’ shops, a term that hints at the solution to the puzzle.
