Originally, Delftware was intended as an affordable alternative to the expensive blue and white Chinese porcelain that was very popular in Europe in the 17th century. Over time, it evolved into a symbolic national product of the Netherlands, which is still appreciated for its artisanal beauty and as a collector's item. Today, Delftware is still made in both traditional and modern interpretations, and remains a popular souvenir and export product.
The tulip trade in the Netherlands is a historical and economic phenomenon that has gained worldwide fame, especially because of the period in the 17th century known as the 'Tulip Mania' or 'Tulip Rage'. This was a time when tulip bulb prices rose to unprecedented heights and tulip bulbs were traded as a form of speculation. The tulip bulb market eventually collapsed, which many see as the first documented economic bubble.
Today, the tulip industry is an important part of the Dutch economy and culture and contributes to the Netherlands' identity as a flower country.
