Royal Tichelaar Makkum

Tichelaars who have managed the company through the ages are: During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, it was mainly dishes for daily use and tiles that were made in the clay ovens.

The brothers Jelmer and Jan started a drastic innovation process, whereby the company could continue as a factory for decorative pottery.

Royal Tichelaar Makkum uses traditional production processes and is often asked to carry out restoration projects on historic Delft blue.

The company works with designers such as Hella Jongerius, Studio Job, Jurgen Bey [nl], Alexander van Slobbe, Roderick Vos and Marcel Wanders.

The company is now becoming more diversified, glazing ceramic products, roof tiles and facing bricks on commission from third parties.
