Royal Delft lion jar is a modern take on “blue and white” patterns with shadowy damask weaves. It combines a classic aged damask motif and the iconic, historic, timeless allure of Royal Delft’s Porcelain Lion Jar, whose common chinoiserie cousin is known as a temple jar. It centers the amazing lion jar within the center of the updated damask shape that dances with it. The playfulness of the pattern mixes with other modern patterns and more traditional ones, providing the designer with the flexibility of a transitional vibe to create classic appeal for next-generational customers who look for freshness and novelty.
Royal Delft Filigree is a modern “blue and white” classic. A pattern that plays with the iconic ornately painted Royal Delft 60cm flower vase, behind a floral vine with lingerie-like peek-a-boo effect it is recognizable as De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles/Royal Delft yet it is fun and new. Its signature is bold, modern, and effortlessly classic – all at the same time. Mayer, born in South Africa, grew up with a love for Delft blue and white. Royal Delft started in the 17th century with the VOC (the Dutch East India Company, who also settled South Africa as a stopover point on the way to Holland) brought the blue-painted porcelain back from China. When supply was difficult to guaranty, the popularity of the look resulted in the inspiration for Dutch ceramists to create something similar, and as it evolved, something new. The result was European-influenced porcelain that became very different, sophisticated, and its own signature relative to the imported Chinese ceramics. The story of Delft, Majolica, and Faience is very similar. This new collection provides blue and white patterns that mix perfectly for collectors and fans of any of the great blue and white ceramic traditions.
Royal Delft Porceleyne is an inspired romantic modern take on tradition in blue and white with nuanced shades and aging. It combines a classic aged damask motif and the iconic, historic, timeless allure of Royal Delft Porcelain Plaques, embedded within the centers of the updated damask shapes that dance with aged elements. The playfulness of the pattern mixes with other more modern patterns and more traditional ones, providing the designer with the flexibility of a transitional vibe to create a classic appeal for next-generational customers who look for freshness and novelty.

Royal Delft Purisima is a pattern inspired by the Royal Delft baluster vase with tossed flowers evoking a floral artist creating an arrangement. With its exotic shape similar to a calabash, bottle gourd shape, it is elegant and stately yet whimsical. Since the early 17th century, the vase has had a rounded exaggerated belly and a gracefully slim neck with a mouth at the top. The vase has an exotic shape and is used for long flowers such as amaryllis or summer lilies. The peacock is central in this decoration. Birds are reoccurring decoration for a Delftware painter and birds and flowers still inspire designers worldwide. It is a dream to create this collection, bringing the iconic looks made famous over 400 years of porcelain creation to new categories of wallpaper and fabric.
The Royal Dutch Delftware factory, “De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles/Royal Delft” was established in 1653, at the beginning of the Delft movement, creating unique blue and white ceramics and is the last remaining original Delftware factory. The world-renowned Royal Delftware is still entirely hand-painted according to a centuries-old tradition, and as such, the brand has created certain iconic pieces that are recognized world-over by collections. The inspiration for ‘Collections’ is the Royal Delft collectors themselves—their passion, obsession, love—we hope as they add pieces, to eventually assemble a complete collection of beloved Royal Delft. They will reference this pattern as their map. Inspired by the uniqueness of each piece, Royal Delft Collections is an assemblage pattern of key pieces of the Delft blue and white plates, wall plaques, vases, and other key pieces of the original blue collection.
Royal Delft Icons is inspired by the Tulipiere, water vase, lion jar, and large ginger Jar at the center of the iconic masterpieces, combined with other significant signature pieces such as the peacock plate, small round tuliptree, and others. Entirely hand-painted in the same workshop since the 17th century, and taking months of work to finish the painting of each piece by a dedicated master artist. The Icons fabric pattern pays homage to the artistry of each signature piece of Royal Delft. With reverence for the originals and equal parts artistic license, they carefully restored their beauty on a new medium, in the fabric on a fine Belgian linen and cotton blend.
Royal Delft Heritage is a tossed floral pattern that we designed, inspired by many of the signature elements of Royal Delft’s master painting techniques: leaves, chrysanthemums, and branches. These small elements together work as an all-over floral in crisp blue and white in a manner that is timeless and a reminder of how brief life can be. Scattered in all directions, the symbolic chrysanthemums have a provenance originally cultivated in China. The chrysanthemums made their way to Japan by Buddhist monks in 400AD. Soon after their introduction, the Japanese were so enamored with the beautiful flowers that they were soon adopted as the Emperor’s crest and official seal. ‘Kiku’ is the Japanese word for chrysanthemum, and every year there is a National Chrysanthemum Day, which is referred to as ‘the festival of happiness.’ the chrysanthemum, as painted by Royal Delft master artists in Delft blue, is known as a symbol of peace and tranquility.
Royal Delft Etudes de Fleurs is inspired by the iconic Dutch tulips associated with stately Royal Delft Tulipieres, and the extraordinary beautiful blooms in still life Dutch paintings and the Netherlands. Tulips were in cultivation since the 13th century, but only really took off as a passion for collectors among aristocrats in the 1600s when Turkish traders introduced them to the Dutch. The tulip crazes in the 17th century became so fevered that the bulbs were traded as currency and theft of the flowers triggered harsh penalties. While it’s not the fanciest flower in the garden, the beauty, and grace of a simple tulip mean enduring love between partners, undying passionate love, passion spurned, royalty, abundance, prosperity, and indulgence. Although it was considered more of a symbol for charity by the Victorians, the Turkish who originally bred the flower, considered it a symbol of paradise on Earth, making it a part of many religious and secular poems and art pieces. While the Ottoman Empire planted the bulbs to remind them of heaven and eternal life, the Dutch that popularized the flower considered it a reminder of how brief life can be instead. Mixed with simple wildflowers and scattered in all directions, Flora & Fauna is considered a symbol of happiness and joie de vivre! Flora & Fauna pays homage to artist Vittorio Accornero whose Giardini di Seta works for Gucci inspired a generation of interior and fashion designs to create floral art.
The provenance of Royal Delft “William & Mary” is the commission in the 1600s of thematic tile plaques (manufactured in Delft) based on a design by Daniel Marot, who worked as a principal designer to William of Orange and also worked at William and Mary’s court in England and who may have played a pivotal role in furnishing and decorating the Water Gallery at Hampton Court Palace. A blue Delft vase is within a three-lobed ornament or trefoil surrounded by a cartouche with large curling acanthus leaves and flowers. Filled with diamond ornament on either side of the trefoil, a bird sits on the cartouche. Delft tiles were often used to seal damp walls from moisture and as Stadholder of Holland and King of England, William III decided to tile the walls on the Thames-side rooms to keep out the dampness with exceptionally beautiful glazed tiles. The project was never completed, as Mary died in 1694, and the rooms were demolished as early as 1700. The plaques sold piece by piece and disappeared, only resurfacing in 1923 when an art dealer put ten for sale. They are now housed at various museums, including the Metropolitan Museum, Rijksmuseum, Default, Cophenhagen, and Sevres. With reverence for the originals and equal parts artistic license, we carefully resorted their beauty on a new medium.
