Delft ceramics, also known as Delftware, is a type of hand-painted tin-glazed earthenware that has been produced since the 17th century in the Dutch city of Delft. Inspired by Chinese porcelain, it is characterized by a white tin glaze with decorations, most often in shades of blue (known as Delft Blue), depicting Dutch scenes, floral motifs, and biblical imagery. It was made in the form of plates, vases, tiles, and jugs. The most famous still-operating manufacturer is Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles). Delftware differs from true porcelain in its material (earthenware), hand-painted decoration, and often the presence of factory marks or date codes on the underside.

Boch Frères Keramis, founded in 1841 in La Louvière, Belgium, is one of the most renowned European producers of ceramics and earthenware. The company quickly gained international recognition for its high-quality decorative and functional pieces, including elegant tableware, tiles, and artistic vessels. It became especially famous for its Art Deco collections as well as designs inspired by traditional Delft Blue pottery, blending Belgian craftsmanship with Dutch design heritage. Today, Boch ceramics are highly sought after by collectors worldwide for their rich decoration, masterful execution, and significant role in the history of European design.
