DE DELFTSE PAUW (THE DELFT PEACOCK) (1954-2020):
The Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (trading publicly as Royal Delft) is a Dutch manufacturer of Delftware and is the only remaining factory out of 32 that were established in Delft during the 17th century. Today, the company has been active for over 360 years without interruption.
During the 20th century, a few other pottery factories in Delft have produced ceramics in a way that is faithful to many of the original production techniques.
Two of these factories are De Delftse Pauw (The Delft Peacock), and De Candelaer (The Candlestick).  De Delftse Pauw was named after the original factory called De Paauw which closed in 1774.  De Delftse Pauw was founded in 1954 and sadly closed down in 2020. However, De Candelaer, which opened in 1975, is still in operation.  
Unlike De Porceleyne Fles, neither of these two factories was established with the original Delft potteries in the 17th and 18th centuries.  
However, De Delftse Pauw made handmade and hand-painted ceramics using many of the same methods currently employed at The Royal Delft. And De Candelaer continues to produce high-quality Delft pottery using the same techniques.
