Bonus Meeting: Delftware

Lora Jean Kilroy Center, MFAH 6003 Memorial Drive, Houston

Presented by Robert Aronson, fifth generation owner of Aronson Antiquairs. Delftware has been a national symbol of Holland for almost 400 years. Initiated by the demand for the waning importation of Asian porcelain from the 1640s, Delftware quickly became an iconic national product and one of the greatest Dutch achievements.
Robert’s lecture will give a global perspective of the circumstances under which the city of Delft became the center of European ceramics production and will show many beautiful objects that were produced in the two following centuries. He is pleased to speak to the IHCC members and answer any questions you have.
This is a IHCC members only event. Please mark your calendar. As an aside, this will follow the scheduled Friday Focus from 1:30-2:30.
