Coffee can also be read in ceramics
At the Princessehof, dozens of coffee pots, spouted jugs, mugs and dinner services tell of global trade and exchange, with ceramics as the common thread. The exhibition has been open since 10 October.
A Japanese spouted jug from the eighteenth century and a flamboyant Rococo coffee pot of Delft earthenware stand in the same exhibition. Dutch Design is part of it too. Together the objects tell a story of global trade and exchange.
The national Keramiekmuseum Princessehof uses ceramics as its common thread: as a silent witness to the history of coffee. Dozens of coffee pots, spouted jugs, mugs and dinner services take visitors on a journey of global trade and exchange.
The exhibition opened on 10 October and runs until 29 August 2027. During the autumn holidays, from 13 to 18 October, you can make your own coffee tile from clay between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. The workshop is free when accompanied by an adult with a valid admission ticket; you do not need to register.
The opening day on Saturday 10 October was free, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, with speed tours, mug glazing and a coffee tasting, among other things.
