A gentle drive in your motorhome rental across fields full of flowers and fruit will bring you to Delft the home of Delftware, the iconic white and blue hand painted pottery. Starting in 1600 this style imported by italian potters inspired by chinese originals, became a major industry for the Netherlands with exports throughout Europe. After the death of the Wanli Emperor in 1620 the supply of high quality chinese porcelain with expert craftsmanship was disrupted. The ever resourceful Dutch saw the opportunity and created a cheap alternative to Chinese porcelain. Over time the Dutch quality and craftsmanship came to rival their Chinese and Japanese porcelain luminaries. Delft pottery has been collected and exported across Europe and even to China and Japan. Delft is a charming small city, a must have on your motorhome itinerary. Park up and hire some bikes to easily explore this cute historic town.
