Delftware

The magnetic bookmark with old Delftware tiles on it from the Netherlands.



Delftware is always blue and white, pottery and tiles made in and around Delft. This kind of pottery is called Blauw in Dutch. Delftware became popular and was widely exported in Europe and even reached China and Japan.
Delftware ranges from simple household items to fancy artwork.
