Canal House No. 5 - Delft Blue - Ceramic - 13 cm

Decorate your home with the coziest little street in the Netherlands. This Delft Blue decorative house is a miniature canal house with a clock gable, which was especially built a lot in the Netherlands in the 16th century. These canal houses are usually tall, narrow and deep because taxes were levied based on the width of the facade. On the facade you can sometimes still see a special beam sticking out that was used to hoist merchandise up, so the goods were protected from floods. Amsterdam’s canal belt is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and has become an iconic image of the Netherlands. This charming Delft Blue canal house is a decorative ornament for the home. The series of little houses consists of different types of canal houses, each with a characteristic facade. When you place them all side by side, you create your own picturesque little canal row.
