Royal Delft Proud Mary View of Amsterdam

Proud Mary is not just a Delft Blue figurine, but a true design icon from Royal Delft. The design is by Dutch designers Koens & Middelkoop and is named after Mary II, the wife of Stadtholder William III. In the Dutch Golden Age, she was a great admirer and collector of Delft Blue. With Proud Mary, this historical heritage is given a contemporary twist – precisely the kind of design that makes you happy every day.

The figurine consists of four interchangeable elements: the skirt, the bodice, the collar, and the head. Together, they form a stylish, feminine figurine with a recognizable silhouette. The form is modern, the decoration classic Delft Blue: designed by Koens & Middelkoop and exquisitely elaborated by the designers and master painters of Royal Delft.

In Amsterdam's anniversary year, as the city celebrates its 750th existence, Royal Delft presents a special edition of the iconic Proud Mary. This 17 cm tall version, crafted using transfer techniques, pays homage to the capital in authentic Delft Blue and celebrates Amsterdam's rich history with a characterful art object.

The design depicts the view from the IJ, a panoramic scene of historic ships in the port of Amsterdam. This refined scene reflects the trading role the city has played throughout the centuries. The classic cityscape pays tribute to Amsterdam during the Golden Age.

Around her skirt, you see a panoramic view of the IJ: historic ships in the harbor, the silhouette of the city, and an atmosphere that immediately evokes the Amsterdam of the Golden Age. You're not just bringing a decorative object into your home, but also a piece of trade history and city pride in miniature.
