Visit to Delft Pottery

A trip to Delft would not be complete without a look round "the only one of two" workshops where Delft pottery is still hand painted. It was very small, with only three people engaged in hand painting at the time. Most of the work is done using 'out-workers'. It is all very beautiful (and pricy), but we couldn't resist buying a tile to remember it by.
Surprisingly, their emblem is a peacock...
