Curaçao is a Lesser Antilles island in the southern Caribbean Sea and the Dutch Caribbean region, near the Venezuelan coast. Curaçao is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the capital is Willemstad.
Delft Blue is the world-famous earthenware that has been produced in the city of Delft since the 17th C. Between 1600 and 1800, this earthenware was popular among rich families who would show off their Delft Blue collections to one another. Although the Delftware potters preferred to call their earthenware “porcelain”, it was only a cheaper version of the real Chinese porcelain. Delft Blue was not made from the typical porcelain clay, but from clay that was coated with a tin glaze after it was fired.
