Delftware is frequently used to describe any blue and white ceramic item. Authentic Delftware, made in The Netherlands, is hand painted by experienced artists and glazed in a centuries-old process. The results are one-of-a-kind items treasured for generations.

Delftware can be either blue or white or polychrome (multi-colored). It ranges in price and quality from the high-end Royal Delft (de Porcelyne Fles), to the moderately-priced (DeWit), to unique screen-printed, less costly options. Designs my vary from artist to artist and shipment to shipment.
