Delft - Porcelain factory
In the 18th century the influence of Sevres and Meissen porcelain expressed itself in objects with mannered outlines and decoration, while some of the pieces remained faithful to traditional Dutch scenes where one sees small boats sailing on the canals spanned by humpback bridges.
At the beginning of the 18th century delftware reached its peak. But a decline set in rapidly, caused mainly by English competition and porcelain, made first in Germany and later throughout Europe. However, production continues today in several local factories.
