Maybe you recognize a characteristic canal house in it, it reminds you of a special place or it is the beginning of a collection that continues to grow. Because of the rich details and the recognizable blue decorations, these ceramic miniatures often get a permanent place in the house.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAt Dutchceramics we make our Delft blue houses in our own factory in Gouderak.

Narrow canal houses, old farms, monumental facades and characteristic houses lend themselves perfectly to a ceramic house. It is precisely the recognizable details, such as a stepped gable, shutters, decorative brickwork or a striking entrance, that give each design its own look. In addition to historic buildings, we also make miniatures of homes, business premises, town halls and other buildings that have a special meaning to someone. This creates a house that is not only beautiful to look at, but also tells a personal story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eA house to collect or give as a gift\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eFor many collectors, it doesn't stop at one house. Each miniature shows a different piece of Dutch architecture. As a result, a collection often grows step by step.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eDelft blue houses are also popular as gifts.

We pour them into a plaster mould, in which an even layer of ceramic slowly forms. Once the correct wall thickness is reached, we pour the excess clay out of the mold again. The house will then remain in the mold for some time, so that it gets enough strength.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAfter unloading, we let the ceramic dry quietly. Then we rework each house by hand. Casting seams are removed, small irregularities are touched up and the fine details are checked. This requires a lot of attention, especially for windows, eaves, chimneys and ornaments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThis is followed by the first baking process, the biscuit firing. During this firing, the ceramic becomes hard and suitable for further finishing. Then we apply the decoration. Depending on the design, this is done by hand or with the help of screen printing. Then we apply a transparent glaze layer and the house is fired for the second time. During this firing, the glaze merges with the ceramic and the house gets its characteristic shine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eBefore a cottage leaves our factory, we carefully check the finish.
