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. More

Our visit to De Delftse Pauw was part of a tour Delft-Hague-Madurodam. 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...

I loved my visit to De Delftse Pauw. I took a tram as suggested, and was left in the suburbs in the rain with no-one in sight, but I looked around and saw signs to "Pottery" so I followed them and found the factory eventually. There were a few people waiting in reception, and I was told that there would... More

If you are wanting a true Dutch Delft pottery piece, bypass the cheap knock offs at the gift shops and seek out this factory on the canal. It is hard to find, but just follow the signs through town and you will come upon a small white and blue building overlooking the Canal Well worth the trip. Take the tour... More
