Delft Blue Christmas baubles: unique tree decorations with a Dutch story
You'll find blue Christmas baubles in every homeware shop. Delft Blue baubles, not so much. The blue-and-white pattern that has been linked to the city of Delft since the seventeenth century turns an ordinary bauble into a small piece of Dutch history. Against the green of the tree and the twinkling lights, that deep blue stands out at once, especially when paired with a gold rim or a gilded detail.
De Holland Winkel has been selling Delft Blue and Dutch souvenirs since 2002. In this category we've brought together all our Delft Blue Christmas baubles, hanging decorations and tree ornaments, so you can easily choose and combine.
Which Delft Blue Christmas ornaments are there?
Baubles with Dutch icons
Round baubles with a windmill landscape, canal houses from Amsterdam or Delft, tulips or the famous kissing couple. Choose a small size to tuck between the branches, or an XL bauble in its own gift box as a real eye-catcher.
Hanging ornaments and figures
Tree decorations in all sorts of shapes: canal houses with stepped or bell gables, windmills, bicycles, little clogs and ice skates. You'll also find ring-shaped ornaments with tulips or the kissing couple, and windmill beads with a coloured bead.
Classic Christmas figures in Delft Blue
Familiar tree decorations with a Dutch twist: angels, stars, snowmen, swans, birds, a nutcracker and a Christmas bell. If you like something playful, there are also sweet-treat ornaments, such as a candy cane or a doughnut.
Bauble sets in gift packaging
Luxury baubles and hanging ornaments packed as a set: from a winter-themed ornament set to a large luxury set of four baubles in a gift box. Ideal as a Christmas present or as the start of your own collection.
How to decorate a Delft Blue Christmas tree
Beautiful tree decorations start with a clear colour palette. Delft Blue makes a rewarding base, because it goes with so many colours.
- ✓Blue with gold: combine Delft Blue baubles with gold baubles and warm white lights for a classic, luxurious look.
- ✓Blue with white: white baubles and silver accents create a fresh, wintry tree that brings snow and ice to mind.
- ✓Mix shapes and sizes: hang round baubles next to figures such as houses, windmills and stars. It gives the tree depth.
- ✓Heavy inside, light outside: ceramic ornaments are sturdier than glass baubles. Hang them on a strong branch, close to the trunk.
- ✓Pick a theme: a tree full of canal houses, a Dutch winter landscape, or just windmills and tulips.
A bauble to collect
A Delft Blue bauble isn't a decoration you throw away after one season. Many people add a new one every year, for themselves or for the children, building a collection the whole family recognises. That also makes these baubles a special Christmas gift: every December, when the boxes come down from the loft, the recipient thinks of you again. And for expats and family abroad, a Delft Blue ornament brings a little piece of the Netherlands to their own tree.
Frequently asked questions about Delft Blue Christmas baubles
What are the baubles made of? +
Almost all our Delft Blue baubles and hanging ornaments are made of ceramic, unless stated otherwise on the product page. Ceramic feels sturdier and more luxurious than plastic or glass and, with care, lasts for years.
How should I store ceramic Christmas ornaments after the holidays? +
Wrap each ornament separately in tissue paper or keep it in its own box, and store the box somewhere dry. Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. That way the colours and gold details stay beautiful.
How big are the baubles? +
That depends on the design. The size is listed on every product page. Alongside small baubles and ornaments that fit anywhere on the tree, we have XL baubles that work as an eye-catcher in the centre of the tree.
Can I send a bauble as a gift? +
Yes, abroad too. We add a card with your message free of charge. Choose one of our gift wrapping options. See our shipping costs page for all destinations.
