Delft blue is a type of faience (earthenware) with blue decoration, which is traditionally manufactured in Delft. It originated at the end of the 16th century as a cheap alternative to blue-and-white Chinese porcelain. Delft blue became very popular in a short time and experienced a heyday in the period 1650-1750 when a hundred pottery factories were active in Delft. The industry was wiped out around 1800 by cheaper pottery, especially from England (Staffordshire). Nowadays there is only one factory in Delft that produces 'real' Delft blue, "De Porceleyne Fles". Other types of Delft pottery are the multicolored Boerendelft and the Delft white.

De Porceleyne Fles (since 1919 De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles, internationally known as Royal Delft) is a pottery factory, founded in 1653 in Delft and nowadays also open as a museum. Delft Blue pottery is produced. It is one of the smallest stocks listed on the stock exchange.
