Mug Canal Houses - Delft blue - Ceramic

A nice Delft blue mug with a row of canal houses all around it. The sturdy mug fits comfortably in the hand thanks to the shape and the large ear. The mug is decorated with a continuous line of canal houses, which you find in most old Dutch cities. The canal houses in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Delft were mainly built in the 17th century and have become known worldwide thanks to their beautiful ornate gables. Some parts of the city have even been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Not a big surprise when you see how beautifully made they are and the important role they used to play in the prosperity of a city. This mug brings back the old canal houses to our Dutch homes, in a fresh and modern way. This Delft blue mug also makes a nice gift for someone abroad and is the ideal keepsake of a trip to the Netherlands.
