Decorative art.
Delftware is a type of faience (pottery) with blue decoration, traditionally made in Delft. It originated in the late 16th century as a cheap alternative to blue and white Chinese porcelain. Delft blue became very popular in a short time and experienced a heyday in the period 1650-1750, when there were about 100 pottery factories operating in Delft. The industry was wiped out around 1800 by cheaper pottery, especially from England (Staffordshire). Nowadays, few factories still produce Delftware in a traditional way, two of them being "De Porceleyne Fles" and "Heinen Delftware". The traditional painting can be recognised by the mark at the bottom of the product. Other types of Delftware include multi-coloured Boerendelfts and Delft White.
