Delft Blue Circle

Delftware, also known as Delft Blue, is an iconic example of Dutch craftsmanship that captivates people from around the world. Kunstmuseum Den Haag manages one of the largest and most prestigious collections of Delftware in the world. The Delft Blue Circle brings together fans who are keen to help preserve and enrich one of the world’s most important collections of Delftware, with Janny van der Heijden as its ambassador. 

Delftware is a beautiful traditional product that continues to inspire, from contemporary design to haute couture and household items. You do not need to be an expert to recognise and appreciate the skill of human hands.  

Join your fellow fans, a select group of admirers, collectors and aficionados of the iconic blue and white earthenware. Help us care for our world-class collection. The Delft Blue Circle supports research, purchases, conservation work and exhibitions and offers young makers a platform.
