Founded more than 50 years ago in the Netherlands by the Heinen family, the company spans three generations and is known for its authentic Delft blue pottery. Holland was chosen as the site for its first American shop because of the city’s proud Dutch heritage.

The store offers a variety of handcrafted items, from tulip vases and decorative plates to ornaments and figurines.

In the Netherlands, Heinen Delfts Blauw operates stores in Amsterdam, Delft and Putten, as well as in Curaçao and Bonaire. The company also has factories in the Netherlands and China.
