Century, less attention was paid to Delft Blue, reason for which almost all potteries were forced to close down. When Joost Thooft took over the factory in 1876, he improved the production process in such a way making an even more beautiful and high quality product which brought Delft Blue into a revival. Up to the present day Royal Delft uses this method of producing which is the worldwide standard of nowadays Delft Blue. ARE MARKED ON THE BOTTOM. NO CRACKS OR RESTORATIONS. TALL: 15.6 INCHES.
