Where To Buy Delftware Pottery In Amsterdam

Potters in the Netherlands have been producing beautifully decorated, blue tinged earthenware called Delftware since the 17th century. This type of ceramics is highly prized by collectors, due to its historical significance and association with traditional Dutch design. This style of pottery is also very popular among visitors to the Netherlands and can be found at several specialist stores throughout Amsterdam.

Delft

While obviously outside of Amsterdam’s municipal limits, the city of Delft isn’t actually very far from the Dutch capital and was historically the main producer of Delftware. For obvious reasons, there are significantly more Delftware traders in the city than in Amsterdam — many of which are still attached to active pottery workshops.
