A Velan Store Journal — Delivering to the Netherlands
Two Crafts, One Table: Indian Kitchen Heritage Arrives in the Netherlands
Since the 1600s, Delft's potters have hand-painted their blue and white ware. Around the same centuries, artisans across South India were shaping brass, bronze and kansa into vessels still used in Indian kitchens today. Velan Store carries that second tradition to your door, from Amsterdam to Eindhoven.
Two heritages
What Delft porcelain and Indian brasswork have in common
Both are built on the same idea: a household object worth keeping for generations, made by hand, by people who learned the craft from someone before them.
Delft Blue
Dutch potters began painting porcelain in cobalt blue in the 1600s, refining a technique that turned everyday tableware into something worth passing down. The pattern became a marker of Dutch craftsmanship recognised well beyond the Netherlands.
Kansa & Brass
Across South India, metalworkers have shaped brass, bronze and kansa into thalis, tumblers and cookware for just as long — valued for how they age, how they conduct heat, and the weight they carry at the family table.
