OALLERY celebrates its third anniversary and to honor the milestone, the brand produces a special series of ceramic cups and saucers. The retailer taps the help of Montagne Aardewerkfabriek to create the hand-painted pieces. The Delft Blauw is made using a traditional Dutch technique that stemmed from the late 1800s to craft tin-glazed earthenware.
The antique references one of the brand's studio spaces, which is 'Nieuwe Spiegelstraat 39.' The detail is spotlighted by blue paint throughout the cups, traveling down to the handles as well. The saucer is detailed with a number right at the center in order to spotlight the uniqueness of each hand-crafted piece. The special release by the retailer is currently available online at OALLERY.
