Antique Delftware prices range from under €100 to more than €100,000 depending on age, rarity and condition. Common 19th-century Delft Blue plates often sell for a few hundred euros at antique shops and auctions. Rare 17th-century pieces from famous factories can reach far higher figures and large tulip vases from the Dutch Golden Age are among the most expensive Delftware items. In recent years, museum-quality tulip pyramids have sold for tens of thousands of euros through international auction houses. Collectors look for clear factory marks, hand-painted decoration and original glaze condition and damage or repairs usually lower the value sharply. Delft Blue tiles, chargers and figurines remain popular among collectors across Europe and North America. Royal Delft limited editions from the 20th century can still sell for thousands of euros if signed by artists.
