The Art of Marble Imitation in Delft Blue
Marble imitation originated in the Middle East and was introduced to the Netherlands in the 19th century. Isa Lagendijk has applied this ancient art form in a groundbreaking way to Delft blue pottery. By using Delft blue paint and refined golden accents, she has developed a technique that perfectly mimics the appearance of real marble. The result is a luxurious dinnerware collection that is almost indistinguishable from genuine marble.
Isa Lagendijk and Her Craftsmanship
Isa Lagendijk, a specialist in plate painting, has developed a unique method for imitating marble on ceramics. "Marble imitation is usually done with oil or acrylic paints on wooden panels. As a plate painter, you work with ceramics," explains Lagendijk. Through experimentation, she has found a way to create the marble look with Delft blue paint. Painting marble on ceramics is an unpredictable process, with each piece having a unique appearance.
Marbleu Collection – Elegance and Luxury
The Marbleu collection offers a range of hand-painted Delft blue products that have the appearance of marble, but with a distinctive blue and golden twist. The marble veins are hand-painted, providing an authentic and luxurious look. The golden veins enhance the elegant appearance of each piece, making the collection a sophisticated addition to any table setting or interior.
The Technique of Marbleu
The technique behind the Marbleu collection involves multiple steps to bring the marble imitation to life. First, a watery Delft blue paint is applied with a natural sponge, leaving a delicate texture. This texture is then accentuated with a brush made of coarse pig bristles. For added depth, finer squirrel hair brushes are used to build up the color. Finally, golden accents are added, giving each creation its luxurious appearance.
Marbleu – A Fusion of Crafts
The Marbleu collection is a perfect example of how marble imitation and Delft blue painting can be combined. The result is a series of products that are both visually impressive and functional. Whether you are looking for an elegant dinnerware set or a striking decoration, the Marbleu collection offers the ideal balance between traditional techniques and modern aesthetics.
