Cornelis (Kees, Cor) Verwoerd (Rotterdam, 10 February 1913 – Gouda, 19 December 2000) was a Dutch Delftware painter, modeler, and ceramist.

From day one, Verwoerd had to cope with the already fast approaching wave of cheap reproduction methods.

From that moment until 1976, when the Studio closed its doors, Verwoerd was the main specialist producer of hand-painted Delft miniatures.

The ceramic jewelry was sold in a limited number of specialized shops in the Netherlands and Belgium, including Metz & Co of Amsterdam.

On 15 November 1939 Verwoerd married Maria Peels, born 19 December 1914 in Cologne, Germany.
