Heinen Delfts Blauw: Home To Iconic Dutch Souvenirs
Amsterdam, located in the Province of North Holland, is the Netherlands’ capital and most populous city. It is known as the “Venice of the North” because of the enormous number of golden age canals that also make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of these waterways are bound, by split-shift gabled structures, historical centres, vintage shops, ingenious bars, cafes, and restaurants. Slowly and gently discover the city to be surprised by what you find across streets heaped with Tulips with musicians playing the traditional tunes in the backdrop.
You could stumble upon a hidden store tucked in a corner selling Dutch homewares, a vintage store vending unusual souvenirs, or an old-fashioned eatery dishing out authentic cuisine. A store worth visiting in Amsterdam is Heinen Delfts Blauw on Damrak street. Here’s why? Because a trip to the Netherlands is only half-done unless you have bought yourself one of those iconic Dutch homeware painted in blue and white. These porcelain pieces make great collector’s items and also typify a less acknowledged historical event. That is the powerful impact of the Chinese civil war on the Porcelain industry.
An event that inspired local potters to create hand-painted articles to restore the porcelain import ban. Eventually, this porcelain event became so popular that today it is embraced by the entire world for its glorious world of decorative masterpieces and unconventional souvenirs. Heinen Delfts Blauw preserves the authenticity of the original Dutch porcelain, and it’s the best store in Amsterdam to buy everything from pottery to bracelets. Heinen Delftware is a brand that inspires the Dutch culture on porcelain objects while adhering to age-old and new traditions.
I was surprised to find out that what originally started as a family-run hobby gradually evolved into full-fledged entrepreneurship of hand-painting skills passed down from one generation to another. Thereon the business and craftsmanship were consolidated by Heinen’s who went on to sign joint ventures with Dutch designers. These Dutch designers helped revitalize the old traditions resulting in the branding – “The Heinen Delfts Blauw, creating new traditions.” Visit this store to buy the most authentic porcelain articles.
