The crisscross of canals, arched bridges, cobbled alleyways, hidden courtyards, market squares and grand town houdes make it feel like an open-air museum. The city of Delft is renowned all over the world for the Delft Blue pottery. In the 17th century (‘The Golden Age') Delft was one of the homeports of the Dutch East India Company. When the Delft potters became acquainted with the imported Chinese porcelain, dozens of small pottery factories arose, manufacturing Delftware. Delft Blue porcelain is still made by hand nowadays.
