Touch of gold

Pure craftsmanship, pure beauty and old Dutch tradition, fused into a harmonious whole. Touch of Gold is the latest creation within the Royal Blue Collection by designer Sabine Struycken, who joined forces with artist Samuel Dejong for this purpose. A logical step, because not only do they both have a love of Delftware; themes of eternity and transience also play a central role in both their work. The ceramic apple, which for Sabine Struycken symbolizes infinity, has a unique Delft blue floral pattern, hand-painted by Royal Delft, the Royal Porceleyne Fles – the last remaining Delft pottery factory from the 17th century. Samuel Dejong placed some of his signature golden insects on this, embodying both the fragility and indestructibility of our ecosystem.
