It should come as no surprise that Shanghai Hotel Holland is located in Delft. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the relationship between China and Delft can be traced back to the mid-16th century when Dutch East India Company (VOC, founded in 1602) members shipped large quantities of porcelain from the Far East across the seas and introducing it into The Netherlands.


This type of pottery was, until then, unknown in The Netherlands and therefore it gained popularity very quickly. Shortly thereafter Dutch potters began to imitate this style and it wasn’t long before Delft accommodated thirty-two different potteries where Delftware was being produced.


Fast-forward to present day leaves us with just one pottery that’s still in service; the Royal Porceleyne Bottle (Royal Delft) This museum is a highlight for many who visit Delft and should be considered a must-see!
