We were treated to a personal tour of the factory, how delft pottery is made, met the people hand painting the pottery and then could browse a great showroom. Thank you for a great tour and a great way to start our visit to delft. Well worth the visit.

The visitor information centre in Delft pointed out the two locations we could visit to see how Delftware is created, we chose the smaller of those, a nice walk through town and along the Rijn watching the boats out for a Sunday outing. Our friendly personable guide, Jacquelin, was thoroughly engaging and informative - in our private tour we learned... More

This is a small operation that offers very informal tours as you arrive. The two of us got a private tour with one of the managers who explained every step of the process and was eager to answer questions. Hugely informative. They had a small shop as well. After going here we saw no reason to pay for the tour... More

Sitting out of the way a little bit the Delftse Pauw is worth visiting. I hadn't been there since 1982, and very little of the charm had changed. A very informative tour lets you know about the history, the steps, and the work that goes into Delft pottery making. Watching the artists hand paint the pieces could take most of... More

Very welcoming and excellent, interesting tour. The best was talking to the actual artists as they worked at their painting. The work is truly exquisite.

The guided tour, provided by professionals for our group in 3 languages( english, german and spanish) introduced us in the magical world of pottery. We were familiarized with the phases of pottery production,the magic of transforming clay in artworks, we visited the painting workroom and the incredible showroom.... More

On my second visit to this delft factory in six years, it is still the best. We skipped the tour this time and went directly to the showroom/gift shop. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. We were offered hot coffee on the coldest day on record. We purchased 6 pieces to add to our collection, including... More

Take the No. 1 Tram and get off at the Brasserkrade stop. The signs take you through a residential area along a canal and then it is on your left. I was given a personal tour including watching an artist painting a Delftware flower vase. The artist and manufacturer marks were explained, so you can tell what is authentic and... More

A wonderful additon to a tour of Delft is a visit to this Delftware manufacturer. Take the No. 1 Tram (headed in the direction of Scheveningen/Den Haag) a few stops -- we asked the driver to let us know when to exit -- it takes two strips on a strippenkaart if you're boarding near Central Station or the Centrum of...
