Yesterday we had a lovely day exploring the pretty town of Delft and looking at a Delft pottery. After Delft we drove to Kindedijk for the most scenic display of windmills !! more of that in the next post.
The first stop in Delft was one of the remaining potteries that still hand paint their designs. We had a tour showing how it was all made which was very interesting. As blue is my favourite colour I was in my element !

| This is the artist that painted my bowl !! The paint looks black before it is fired. |

| There are two styles of pottery the blue and white and the coloured version shown below. |

| After the pottery we explored the town of Delft. |
 |
| I loved the really narrow canals lined with houses. |
 |
| Not sure what happens when you walk out these doors !! |
 |
Lots of shops selling the pottery.

Everything is so beautifully clean in Holland, the parking stations look more like car sale rooms !
At the moment I feel the need to scrub my house from top to bottom !!...sure that won't last. |
I was thinking the same thing - are there movable bridges that suddenly appear when one opens the door? Or the doors are only for show and there are other exits on the back? lol loooove the bowl! you're such a lucky gal :->
ReplyDeleteGood thinking ...another option maybe sometimes a boat ties up at the door ...maybe one of my Dutch friends will give us an answer !
