Wall plates to mix and match
Trendy wall plates on a colorful wall
Traditional round wall plates are mostly Delft blue and white or polychrome colors painted on porcelain. With our latest collections of wall plates we take this tradition to the next level. We used the antique colors from the Asian Imari style and applied them to our modern wall plate. This creates a sea of bold and harmonious colors like iron red, jungle green and even gold. These colors bring life to the tropic designs with parrots, cockatoos and leopards but also the lush flowers and detailed insects. In our museum collection you find a lot of pink and orange, based on the still life masterpieces of famous Dutch painters from the Golden Age.
Old master painters on the wall
Another collection of porcelain wall plates that bursts with color is our museum collection. These designs are based on paintings by old Dutch masterpainters from the Golden Age and their art is known around the globe and admired by millions of visitors in museums like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum. We thought it was about time that everyone at home can also enjoy those masterpieces and to admire the stunning details from up close. On our wall plates you will find famous paintings by artists such as Johannes Vermeer, Vincent van Gogh and Hendrick Avercamp. Classic timesless works that have been admired for centuries. Since we have added some Delft blue details to their original artwork, the plates mix and match beautifully with our other Delft blue decoration pieces and the trendy interior designs of today. The wall plate with The Milkmaid by Vermeer on it is a good example, in the background you now see a Delft blue jug with flowers in it. Painted with a wink by one of our own master painters in the Delft blue art. To the painting Almond Blossom by Van Gogh we added some cheerful forest birds that are resting on the famous brances once painted by Van Gogh himself.

Wall plates: porcelain or ceramics?

This means that the wall plates last a lifetime and keep their beauty for a long time. Plates that are made of ceramics are also of a high quality but it is a little bit more vulnerable than porcelain. At Heinen Delfts Blauw we mix our own clay from carefully selected raw materials so that we can always ensure the highest quality possible. We work with the best ceramic technicians in the country to achieve this quality and to keep it. Our goal is to create wall plates that people can enjoy for generations to come.
