As you may know, the city of Delft is famous for its Delftware or Delft pottery, also known as Delft Blue. This blue and white pottery was made in and around Delft from the 16th century.
At the St Agatha Square, in front of the Prinsenhof Museum, are 3 porcelain covered streetlights. They were placed here as part of the cultural exchange program between the cities of Delft and Jingdezhen, that started in 2008. The porcelain was painted by the artists Wendy Steenks from Delft and Ling Yun from China.
Dat is wel heel origineeel, deze toepassing van Delfts blauw heb ik nog nooit gezien.

Those street lights are wonderful. I remember my mother had a collection of these plates. Wonder what happened to them? Hmmm...I'll bet my sister got them or maybe my mother sold them before she died.
