Proud Mary Tulip | Hand-painted | Royal Delft | Delftware

Proud Mary Tulipa is a hand-painted sculpture made of Delft Blue porcelain, consisting of four separate parts. It is a design by Chris Koens and Ramon Middelkoop for the earthenware factory Royal Delft (Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles). Proud Mary Tulipa shows a depiction of a peacock, surrounded by tulips.

Hand-painted

Proud Mary is made using two different techniques. The smaller version is made with transfers. These large versions are hand-painted by the master painters of Royal Delft. The various decorations are a reference to the history of Royal Delft. This Proud Mary is an ode to the Dutch spring, with various tulips adorning her skirt.

Delft Blue

This design originated from a passion for Delft Blue, and the desire to give this traditional technique a modern look & feel. Royal Delft has been producing Delft Blue products since the 17th century. Proud Mary is a tribute to the history and tradition of Royal Delft. It is named after Mary Stuart II, the wife of Stadtholder William III. She was a great admirer and collector of Delft Blue in the 17th century.

Mary consists of four different loose elements: the skirt, the body, the collar, and the head. They are delivered as a fixed combination but are also interchangeable.

About Royal Delft

Royal Delft is also known by the name Porceleyne Fles. This earthenware factory has been creating high-quality Delft Blue products since 1653. It is the only remaining earthenware factory from the 17th century in Delft that still produces traditional hand-painted porcelain.
The artisanal painting still takes center stage, but over time, various techniques have been added. For example, the transfer process is widely used, where an image is printed on the ceramics with a screen print. This results in a high-quality product that is more affordable than the hand-painted collection.
