Royal Goedewaagen Info > 1610

1779 - Dirck Goedewaagen becomes part of an important ceramic pipe-makers guild. His grandson Pieter, also a pipe-maker falls in love and marries a daughter of the De Jong family.
1853 - via acquisitions, Goedewaagen becomes the largest pipe-maker in Holland.
1923 - Absorbing \"De Distel\" avails them of outstanding specialists producing Jugendstil and Art Deco products.
1964 - Acquiring \"PZH\" provides them entry into new fields including the production of the world famous miniature canal houses that continues to this dayDelft Chargers were highly sought after display pieces as an alternative to framed oil paintings. Royalty, nobility, wealthy merchants and even rich farmers acquired these examples of hand painted art! Many of the depicted themes were actually copies of popular (now famous) original oil paintings of the Dutch artists and masters. When rich farmers held a large celebration, they would clear out the barn and then hang Delft Chargers either on the horse stalls or the walls of the barn as part of the party decor for the rustic party venue!“Old Delft” were expensive and mostly used to flaunt their owner\'s status and wealth by displaying in their formal dining rooms and other public rooms of their estates. These Delft pieces were exported all over the Western world including the New World as found in Williamsburg and other colonial towns in both North and South America. Payment methods
