Royal Delft
De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles
The only surviving Delftware pottery factory from among the dozens of 17th-century potteries in Delft, founded in the 1600s. Visitors can tour the hand-painting workshop and the museum.
Royal Delft was founded in 1653. It is the only one of the dozens of Delft potteries of the 17th century that is still in operation. The visit includes a museum, live demonstrations by hand painters and the production workshops, and you can sign up for a Delftware painting workshop. Tickets cost about €18. The shop sells genuine Delftware, which bears the factory mark on the base. It is about a 20-minute walk from Delft railway station.
