The Royal Porceleyne Fles
In 1653, the De Porceleyne Fles earthenware factory was founded by David Anthonisz. van der Pieth.
Since then, several takeovers have taken place.
In 1695 Johannes Knotter took over De Porceleyne Fles.
He introduced the small pot as a brand mark.
In 1876 Joost Thooft became the new owner.
He wanted to bring back the tradition of hand-painted Blue Delft.
To this end, he and Abel Labouchère searched for new techniques that resembled the production of harder English pottery.
In 1919, De Porceleyne Fles was awarded the title “Royal”.
The Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft) is the only seventeenth-century pottery that is still in operation.
From 1876 onwards, all objects were provided with a hallmark: often the monogram JT (Joost Thooft), signatures of the designers, date letters and numbers.
