This Delft blue ceramic bauble is part of the Sharing Moments – Aapjes (monkeys) collection. The bauble is decorated with playing monkeys and Delft blue branches. The theme of the Aapjes collection is “monkey business,” a genre that was a popular decoration on pottery four hundred years ago. In monkey business, monkeys play ridiculous pranks or imitate human behavior. So since these light-hearted pranksters used to appear on blue-on-white porcelain hundreds of years ago, we like to bring the theme back to our pottery. The Christmas ball matches perfectly with the Sharing Moments - Aapjes tableware collection by Janny van der Heijden and Heinen Delfts Blauw. Decorate your Christmas tree with these fun, playful baubles and set the table with the matching tableware.
