This important new book documents the world's most famous and oldest surviving Dutch Delftware factory, De Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft), which dates back 350 years to 1653.
Beautiful plates, vases, covered pots, candlesticks, clocks, tableware, tiles, and watering cans are all here, from inexpensive pieces to breathtaking artwork worth tens of thousands. More than 650 color photographs show the distinctive quality and over 100 archival black and white photos are largely drawn from factory sales catalogs.
Rick Erickson provides a wealth of detail to attract and teach the novice enthusiast while also inspiring the knowledgeable veteran collector. This important reference includes guides to original and current prices, rarity, factory marks, year codes, and painter's signatures.
