What you can expect

Royal Delft, established in 1653, is the last remaining original Delft Blue factory from the 17th century in Delft that still hand makes Delft Blue according to a centuries-old tradition. Discover the history, craftsmanship and innovation of this royal company during a visit. The Royal Delft Experience takes you on an inspirational journey through the world of the centuries-old earthenware.

Paintbrushes carefully touch the white earthenware, whilst elsewhere clay is poured into handmade moulds. It is here, at Royal Delft, that craftsmen have been creating the iconic Delft Blue for almost 400 years. Admire the collection of antique and modern pieces of Delft Blue earthenware and experience the authentic production process in the factory. In the showroom, the complete collection of hand-painted classic and modern Delftware and souvenirs are displayed and can be purchased. In 2018 Royal Delft celebrated its 365th anniversary. Highlights of the year were the exhibition “Nouveau Blue: vision to realisation” until 30 September and the painting of a Delft Blue tile painting by 365 people during the year.

To complete the experience you can join one of the painting workshops and discover the skill needed to be a Royal Delft craftsman (upon reservation). Finally, you can soak up the atmosphere in Brasserie1653 that overlooks the beautiful courtyard garden, whilst having a cup of coffee, High tea, or lunch. There are audio and guided tours available in 8 languages. Royal Delft is easily accessible from Amsterdam, the Hague, and Rotterdam.

Love this, took my mum in her wheelchair chair very accessible, all the staff where really friendly and helpful. This tour was very informative on the process of producing the delft pottery and its rich history.

We felt that the tickets were somewhat overpriced. Staged in a separate room at the end of the workshop and announced to take place at 1.30 p.m., the "demonstration" came as a major disappointment: around a dozen visitors had gathered in anticipation of some kind of verbal exchange or interaction with a member of staff. Instead, a young woman entered, sat down at the table and proceeded to paint a vase. Not a word was spoken. The audience were flatly ignored and soon left the room one by one when they realised that nothing else was going to be done. Was this meant to be like this?

Really enjoyed my visit to the museum and tour of the factory. Fascinating to watch the painting of a China vase, such skilled work. Museum staff very friendly and welcoming. There is a beautiful garden where you can have coffee and a snack.
