Canal House No.1 - Hand-painted - 17 cm

Collect the beautiful Delft blue houses from Heinen Delfts Blauw. The miniature houses are completely hand-painted and each have their own striking facade. This Delft blue canal house has an elegant clock gable and an old-fashioned shop window on the ground floor. These Delft blue houses are made based on the monumental buildings that you encounter in many Dutch city centers. The special facades were very popular, especially in the 16th century, when most were built. The canal houses are often high, narrow and deep because the height of the taxes was determined by the width of the facade. The canal houses have become an iconic image for the Netherlands and the Amsterdam canal belt has even been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. This series of hand-painted Delft blue houses each have their own unique appearance and when you place them next to each other, you create your own cozy canal belt at home on the windowsill.
